Basics in electricity student

Electricians are problem-solvers.

They use specialized hand tools, drills, and diagnostic tools to install and repair complex electrical wiring systems.

As an electrician, you can specialize in repairing power outages, laying wiring for new buildings, or troubleshooting electrical issues. In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of electrical tools and materials as well as have exposure to electrical blueprints and basic circuitry. Colorado needs workers in electrical contracting. These fundamental skills will prove valuable to your career in the booming construction industry.
