How the school describes it

The Residential Electrician program is designed to teach you the fundamental skills needed to work with residential electrical systems. No previous experience is required. You will learn electrical theory, wiring and installation, safety procedures, the use of common hardware and materials, the use of building plans, and more. You will also have access to more than 30 virtual simulations that simulate hands-on practice and 10 lessons on customer service, one of the most essential soft skills employers seek. On-job scenarios (critical thinking scenarios) will help boost your success, along with quizzes in each lesson. Our new course also features 3D models, including the main panel, circuit breaker, DMM, fuses, 3D model walk-throughs, and branch circuit learning checks. The addition of games, including name that function, ampacity, and labeling receptacle, paired with in-the-field photo access (provided by the SME) further boosts your real-world success post-graduation. In addition, you will be prepared for electrician licensing tests, generally required by most states and localities making this one of the top courses for electricians. While tests differ, you will need to understand the common situations in electrical work, including the use of the National Electrical Code, local electrical codes, circuits, and various types of wiring methods. As an added bonus, you will be provided with your own 19-piece tool kit carrier from IDEAL Electrical, featuring pliers, screwdrivers,
