Electrical Contractor
If you want to work as an Electrical Contractor there are other requirements aside from technical education.  This program will assist you in two ways if you wish to be an electrical contractor.  First, the coursework will substitute for 2 years of work experience as an electrician.  Second, the education will help you to understand much more than you could with job experience alone.
