Mesa Community College Mesa, Arizona

The Electrician program at Mesa Community College provides students with the fundamental knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in the electrical trade. The program is designed to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of electrical theory, wiring techniques, and safety regulations, primarily focusing on the National Electrical Code (NEC). Students learn through a combination of classroom instruction and hands-on laboratory experience, gaining proficiency in areas such as residential, commercial, and industrial wiring, blueprint reading, and troubleshooting. Depending on the chosen path, students can pursue a Certificate of Completion (CCL) for immediate entry into the workforce or an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree for more advanced career opportunities. Typical program durations for a CCL might be one to two semesters, while an AAS could take two years. Graduates are prepared for entry-level positions as electrician’s helpers or apprentices, with the potential to advance to journeyman or master electrician status with further experience and training. The program aims to meet the demands of the growing electrical industry and prepare skilled workers to meet those needs.
