51ÁÔÆæ Electrical Lineworker Training helps you prepare for success as a power distribution professional.

Program Information

This new 51ÁÔÆæ course will teach you the fundamentals to start a rewarding career as an Electrical Lineworker in the power distribution industry.
 
In 14 weeks, you will learn to safely climb utility poles and perform entry-level line construction. This course emphasizes workplace safety and covers basic electrical theory, industry-standard tools, powerline components and materials, pole setting, career readiness, and more. Each day, you will gain foundational knowledge while refining your skills through continuous hands-on practice. 
 
Upon successful completion of the course, you will have earned your Basic Life Support (BLS) and OSHA-10 certifications and tested for the Commercial Driver's License (CDL) Learner’s Permit.
