The 2021 IECRM Wire–Off was a tough competition, which showcased all of the skills our apprentices are learning. We are proud of each student and pleased to say all participants walked away with many tools and prizes.
Thank you also to the contractors that supported their apprentices through this important competition. Without contractors like you and the talented apprentices you believe in and support, IECRM would not be what it is today — the largest apprenticeship program in the country!
What is the Wire–Off?

Self-Pay Payment Plan Policy
We offer the following arrangements for students that are unable to pay in full at the time of registration.
● Self-pay students will be charged the non-member rate. ● A 50% down payment of total semester tuition, books and applicable fees are due at registration. ● Remaining balance can be divided up to 3 additional monthly payments ($10.00 processing fee applies on each installment) ● All payments that are declined will incur a $20.00 NSF fee.
We encourage all students who are employed with a member company to work with their employer to register and pay through the IECRM Flashpoint Enrollment Portal/Process. This will ensure the student is paying the lowest possible rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.
