What does it take to become an electrician?

A combination of 8,000 hours on-the-job training as an Electrician’s Apprentice and at least 288 hours of classroom training is required in order to take the license exam to become a Journeyman Electrician in the state of Colorado or Wyoming.

Apprenticeship is an “earn and learn” training model that combines work-based learning with related classroom teaching using the highest industry standards.

IECRM provides the classroom training that is required by the state of Colorado and offers resources to connect individuals to companies that are hiring.

 Training Locations & Availability

Due to current protocols with COVID-19, IECRM will be offering Hybrid Apprenticeship Classes for the 1st Semester of the 2020-21 school year. All IECRM Apprenticeship course work will be conducted ONLINE, led in real-time by Instructors. We will have dedicated Labs/ Practical Objectives scheduled throughout the semester so that IECRM students can receive hands-on learning if they choose to attend. We encourage all registering students to ensure a solid internet connection and technology to enhance the class experience. Laptops, desktop CPUs, or tablets are recommended; cell phones will work but will provide the least quality for the class experience.
