Electrical control technicians work on a wide variety of equipment and devices within a facility, installing and repairing electrical systems, calibrating equipment, and inspecting designs for quality control.
Electrical Control technicians work on a variety of equipment and devices within a facility. They perform preventative maintenance on many of the electrical systems and controls used in today’s industries. Businesses and other organizations depend on complex electronic and electrical equipment and cannot allow machinery to sit idle – that’s why industries need workers trained to install and repair electrical systems, calibrate equipment, inspect designs for quality control, and troubleshoot wiring issues.
Programs in the Electrical Control Technology department can be completed between 1 – 5 semesters.
The employment of process control technicians is expected to grow over the next decade. Demand for these workers will stem from the need to improve efficiency and productivity in manufacturing plants.

Students can enter an Electrical Control Technology program any semester — because when you are ready to start on the path to a new career and change your life, there’s no reason to wait.
Classes are offered in a variety of formats: on campus, blended, online asynchronous, and synchronous technology.
These are courses that are taught primarily in the classroom or lab with less than 50% of instruction online. On campus courses may include lecture, labs, internships, clinicals, and other in-person instructional modalities.
Blended courses are distance learning courses with the majority of the course content, activities, and interactions occurring online but may require students to come to campus for specific assignments, activities, or events.
These are courses that are taught fully online asynchronously with course content, activities, and interactions occurring entirely online. This delivery method does not require students to be online at a specific date or time, and students may participate in class activities and complete course assignments asynchronously. Online asynchronous courses require proctored events.
OFTC also utilizes synchronous technology to offer courses via distance education means. The course is taught on one campus and then broadcast simultaneously to a classroom on a different campus that is monitored by a class proctor.
We want you to get the most out of college and understand the pressure it adds to your life. At OFTC you can achieve your career goals and fit college into your lifestyle. We offer small class sizes and flexible scheduling.
Courses for our programs are offered during the morning, afternoon, and evenings – plus many are online where you can do your work any time of day.
And the personalized hands-on attention you receive in a small classroom setting allows you to get individualized support, focus and feedback from your instructors. Your instructors will get to know you and help you build the foundation and confidence needed for success in your field.
