NCCER Specialty Electrical Services, Technical Certificate of Credit

Overview

Offered at the Augusta campus

Entrance Dates: Summer (Day & Evening)
Length of Program: One Term
Credit Hours Required for Graduation: 16

Program Description: This program introduces the student to special situations found in the electrical construction industry. Topics include specialty load calculations, health care facilities, fire alarms, transformers, advanced controls, HVAC controls, and motor operation and maintenance. Graduates of this program earn a Certificate in Specialty Electrical Services. High school graduation or GED required for admission to this program.

Employment Opportunities: Employment of electricians should increase 12 percent, about as fast as the average for all other occupations. As the population grows, electricians will be needed to wire new homes, restaurants, schools, and other structures that will be built to accommodate this growth. In addition, older buildings will require improvements to their electrical systems to meet update codes, and to accommodate higher electricity consumption due to the greater use of electronic equipment in homes and workplaces. Employment is expected to grow with a wide range of skills, including voice, data, and video wiring. The Electrical Systems Technology graduating student may seek employment as an electrical apprentice, electrical helper in construction or in maintenance.
