Program Overview

The Residential/Commercial Wiring Program is designed to give students the skills necessary for immediate employment in the residential or light commercial fields.  The program is credentialed by the Home Builders Institute (HBI) and the courses are taught by licensed electricians with field experience.

Students entering the program are required to take EEM 105, Basic Electricity, along with three other classes, BCT 105 (Tool Usage and Safety), BCT 112 (Construction Print Reading), and EEM 141 (Residential/Commercial Codes).  Also, students must complete a pre-requisite RDG 031  prior to enrolling in any of the above listed courses. After successfully completing the "foundation" courses students are required to take two additional courses.  These courses are mostly hands-on labs that enable students to gain field experience.  (View sequence of required courses)

Students enrolled in the day program, can complete the Residential/Commercial Wiring Certificate in 16 weeks or in 1 semester.  Students enrolled  in the evening program can complete the certificate in 32 weeks or in 2 semesters.
