What skills do students learn through electrician training?

The goal of any credible electrician training school should be to prepare students with the skills employers expect from entry-level professionals. Sure, there’s a lot to learn as you get started in your career. No program can prepare you for everything.

Learning goals for electrician students can include:

• Understanding concepts that form the science of electrical work in residential and commercial facilities
• Knowing how to install electrical wiring and lighting for businesses and individual homes
• Complying with proper building codes that state and local governments expect workers to follow
• Working with circuit breakers and other types of equipment
• Inspecting electrical wiring and devices to ensure they’re safely installed and working properly

When you speak with electrician schools in your area, be sure to ask about the courses they offer. Many of these electrician programs are short term. You may be able to complete a program in as few as 12 months, in some cases.

How much do electricians make a year?

If you want to know the average electrician salary, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has information that can give you a rough idea. In 2021, electricians earned an average median salary of $60,060 per year.

Of course, how much you earn can also depend on where you live, your level of experience and other factors. Make sure you pay attention during your career training to learn everything thoroughly and completely, and make use of our ever-expanding Trends and Resources section on our website. It’s filled with articles about study tips, financial aid advice, job search information and so much more to help you succeed.

The BLS also mentions that one in 10 electricians work independently. So if you have ambitions to own your own electrician business, that can be a realistic long-term goal. You may also experience a variety of environmental conditions on the job. Electrician duties can take place indoors, outdoors, while buildings are being constructed, as well as in older homes and all kinds of businesses.
