Electrical Technology Diploma ET12

The Electrical Systems Technology program provides instruction in the inspection, maintenance, installation, and repair of electrical systems in the residential, commercial, and industrial industries. A combination of theory and practical application is emphasized to develop academic, technical, and professional knowledge and skills. Program graduates receive a diploma in Electrical Systems Technology with a specialization in residential or industrial applications. An Electrician's License typically requires four (4) years of in-field service; however, satisfactory completion of the Electrical Technology Diploma reduces the in-field service requirement to three (3) years. The student must also pass the state exam to become a licensed electrician.
