Would you like to become a licensed electrician? According to the Massachusetts State Board of Electrical Examiners, before you take the licensing exam you must complete 8000 hours of employment (approximately 4 years) as an apprentice under the direct supervision of a holder of a MA Class B Journeyman’s license and 600 hours of classroom instruction (8 modules – approximately 75 hours each) in electrical code and theory from an approved school based on the current National Electrical Code.

There is no set order for the two requirements listed above. For example, you may start working as an electrical apprentice first, or you may start classes first, or do both concurrently.  If you do not have an apprenticeship set up before you enroll in these classes, please call our office at (413) 587-1414, ext. 3530 to be advised.

Employment is expected to increase by 9% from 2016 – 2026 with a 2017 median annual wage of $54,110 (Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Projections).

Cost: 

$650 per 75 hour module (two modules per level per year, fall and spring) (textbooks not included)

Classes meet weekday evenings (three hours twice per week for fourteen weeks) so that you can work and go to school. Enrollment is limited to 20 students.
