Electrical Apprenticeship

An electrical apprenticeship is an occupational training program that combines on-the-job experience with classroom instruction in electrical theory, code, and application designed to meet government and/or industry regulations.

What are the features of Casper’s program?

Casper College provides extensive classroom training designed to complement the on-the-job training received by electrical apprentices. There are 8 classes total; one each semester (no summers). The program takes 4 years to complete and students must be employed under a master electrician while taking classes and work 8,000 hours (2,000 hours/year) over the course of the program. At the completion of the classroom instruction and accruing the required 8,000 work hours, students will be eligible to sit for the journeyman’s exam which is administered by the state of Wyoming.
