Electrical Apprentice Information
Electrical apprentice
campus and correspondence classes are held during the same time period
students work in the field with journeymen electricians.
Apprentices must register with the Idaho Division of Building Safety for
their apprentice field hours to count toward the required 2000 hours per
year. You can contact the State Division at: Electrical
Bureau, Licensing Section, 208-334-2183, or on their website at:
http://dbs.idaho.gov/electrical/licenses.html.
Section A of each year
is offered in the Fall semester only. Section B of each year will
be offered in the Spring semester. Students must complete the
sections in order, or obtain permission from the Division of Building
Safety to test into a higher level.
Electrical apprentices who are successful in
their classes can apply for credit for their classes. The cost is
$10.00 per credit. Each semester of classes is worth three
credits, and if the student completes the 2000 hours of apprentice time
in the workplace it is worth 10 credits per year.
