Electrical Apprenticeship Diploma

The Iowa Central Apprenticeship Program is designed to assist electrical contractors to get their employees licensed by the State of Iowa. Students interested in taking the apprenticeship program must be working for an electrical contractor who is registered with the State of Iowa, and the student is required to be working for a licensed Journeymen or Master electrician to clock 8000 hours of OJT. Once the Iowa Central Community College Electrical Apprenticeship coursework is completed, and the student has clocked 8000 hours of OJT, the student will be eligible to take the state electrical exam.

The electrical field has a lot to offer the right candidate. It is among the fastest growing technical fields.
