What it counts for
- L&I names the school, but not this exact program. L&I lists Bates’s electrical construction program without naming the award. The college says this certificate prepares you to apply to the Southwest Washington Electrical JATC.
- All electrical work (01) needs a finished 8,000-hour registered apprenticeship. Each apprenticeship’s committee decides how much school it counts.
- Ask the school in writing whether this program earns work hours, and how many.
- You need an L&I training certificate the whole time you’re enrolled.
Before you pay
Ask whether it earns hours

Check you can get in
An interview with the program’s panel, and an English and math test like an apprenticeship’s. Interviews are at the end of the summer and winter quarters.
The school’s words
All applicants will be required to interview with the Electrical Construction (ELCON) panel. Interviews will be conducted at the end of the Summer and Winter Quarters. The interview will consist of seven questions, similar to those asked in Electrician Apprenticeship interviews. Each interviewee will be scored independently by the panel members based on a standardized rubric, ensuring a fair and impartial evaluation process. Selections will be based on these compiled scores, with offers to enroll extended to the top scorers. The number of offers will vary depending on the available places in the program. All applicants must bring a resume' to the interview. Applicants will be required to take an entry-level English and math test, modeled after the apprenticeship test. High school students must bring their high school transcripts and be accompanied by a guardian during the interview.
