Certified Electrician Training From ATI
Electricity is often taken for granted. People are so used to having power wherever they are on the grid. Without the electricians that make the flow of electricity possible, many citizens would be quite literally in the dark. Becoming a certified electrical technician can begin at the Advanced Training Institute (ATI) where the Electrician Program can be completed in less than a year, and graduates can then continue to earn their certifications according to which direction they wish to take their career. With a quick and comprehensive program, ATI offers classes covering many subjects in the electrician field so students can become a certified electrician in no time.
Classes range from focusing on electrical code and conduit bending, to wiring installation, motors and transformer systems, and even manual and automatic industrial controls. A certified electrical technician may work with some of the largest industrial systems there are, meaning that electricians must be able to troubleshoot and diagnose electrical system problems in all types of environments. Some electricians may choose to work in residential environments, installing wiring in homes that power the things everyday people use constantly. If a certified electrician wishes to focus on a residential path, it is important that they are good with face to face communication and customer service, as they will often work in close quarters with their clients.
To become a certified electrician, a certification test must be passed, and these tests vary by location. Also depending on location, electricians may be required to work through nights or weekends in the event of inclement weather or other electrical emergency. After earning a certification, electricians generally seek an apprenticeship, where they can learn the ins and outs of the profession from an experienced electrician in the field. Through an apprenticeship, an electrician can not only gain knowledge, but also recognition in the workforce.
At ATI, the Electrician Program is geared to motivate students and send them off in a new direction into a rewarding career as a certified electrician. Whether students want to work in a residential environment or a commercial one, electricians are necessary everywhere in modern society and the Bureau of Labor Statistics expects the field to grow by twenty percent by the year 2020. With a program that gets students in and out so efficiently, ATI gets graduates where they need to go by preparing them for what they will do in the field through hands-on practical training. Even when the training is done, ATI’s career services staff do all they can for students to assist them in gaining employment in their field.
