​

The Level I NCCER Electrical Program prepares individuals for entry-level jobs as electrical apprentice technicians. When successfully completing this course and obtaining the electrical basics needed, students will be eligible for immediate hire by construction companies (remodel and new construction) and industrial industries (troubleshooting and maintenance) within Houston and surrounding areas.
