90000 Requirements To Become An Electrician 90001 90002 In this post, we’ll discuss the specific requirements to entering the trades and becoming an electrician: age, education, and so on. 90003 90004 Definitions and Terms 90005 90006 90002 Before we list the electrician requirements, here’s a review of some important facts and terms from some of our other posts: 90003 90009 90010 A licensed electrician is called a journeyman electrician. He or she has completed an electrical apprenticeship, and can take on any kind of electrician work.90005 90012 90010 An electrical apprenticeship takes about four to five years to complete. Apprentices work 40-hour workweeks under the instruction of a licensed electrician, get paid for the work they do, and go to classes (usually one night a week) for further instruction. 90012 90010 After a person gets his or her journeyman license, he or she can continue studying and become a master electrician. Master electricians earn a lot more than journeymen, and are at the top of the electrician pay scale.90012 90017 90002 So you’ll need to get an apprenticeship in order to become a licensed journeyman electrician. Your next question is probably about … 90003 90004 Requirements To Become An Apprentice 90006 90002 There are different requirements in each state, but most (if not all) states have the following requirements: 90003 90009 90010 You must be 18 years of age. No exceptions. 90012 90010 You must have a high school diploma. Many apprentice programs will also accept a high school equivalency degree, such as a GED; 90012 90010 You must have taken and passed high school algebra.Some states require you to have a grade of «C» or higher; others do not. Note: A pre-algebra class usually does not meet this requirement-it needs to be a full year of high school algebra; 90012 90010 Most apprentice programs require you to have a driver’s license in the state where you are applying for the apprenticeship; 90012 90010 Many states have a mandatory drug test that you’ll need to pass; 90012 90010 There may be requirements about criminal history, so if you’ve been convicted of a crime-either a misdemeanor or a felony-that’s something you’ll need to discuss with the apprenticeship organizer; and finally 90012 90010 Some apprentice programs explicitly state that you must be physically able to perform that tasks of an electrician, but that’s kind of a given.90012 90017 90040 90002 Again, those are the most common requirements. There may be different requirements in your state, so be sure to contact your local apprenticeship organizer to find out the specifics. 90003 90002 Keep in mind, apprenticeships are not given to just anyone. You’ll have to visit one of the apprenticeship organization near you, go through a round of interviews, and pass an exam (which can be pretty difficult, so you’ll need to study up on that algebra!). 90003 90002 If you’re interested in an apprenticeship, you can visit our homepage for more information, as well as our «State» pages, where we discuss how (and where) you can get an apprenticeship in the state you live in.90003 90004 Electrician School Requirements 90006 90002 If you decide to go to an electrician school before your apprenticeship, you’ll need to meet a few qualifications. 90005 90003 90002 Every single school is different, but most require a high school diploma or GED … and that’s it! 90005 90003 90002 Remember, technically, you do not need to go to school to become an electrician. There are plenty of electricians who skip school entirely, and start an apprenticeship program. However, because it can be difficult to nab an internship, some people go to school to bulk up their resume, get some experience, and learn the math they’ll need to know to pass the apprenticeship exam.90003 90004 What Else Should I Know? 90006 90002 So, those are the technical requirements that are legally based. What about some of the «unofficial» requirements you’ll need to become an electrician? Let’s take a look. 90003 90002 People Skills. There are a lot times you’ll work alone as an electrician, but those times will not occur very often during your apprenticeship. There is a lot of interaction both between the apprentice and his / her instructor, and the apprentice and whatever crew he / she is working with.Very often, those crews can be huge, so having basic people skills is pretty important. 90003 90002 Physical Ability. We’re not talking about brute strength-there are plenty of female electricians who do not weigh much and are excellent electricians-but you need to be able to be on your feet all day. It’s a physical job, and a willingness to be in constant movement is necessary. 90003 90002 Problem Solving Skills. On every job you’ll ever take, there will be problems that pop up. If you’re an electrician for one day or for fifty years, you’ll always be encountering problems.Can you look at problems as challenges that need to be solved, and get to the bottom of things? If you can do that, you’ll be a VERY successful electrician. 90003 90004 Last Thoughts 90006 90002 Do you have any questions or comments about what the requirements to become an electrician? Jump over to our «Contact Us» page and drop us a line. And, if you decide to become an electrician, we wish you the best of luck! 90003.90000 Career Guide for Electricians | Learnthat.com 90001 90002 Electricians install and maintain electrical power systems in homes and businesses. They provide maintenance and repair of existing electrical systems. 90003 90002 In this free career guide, you will learn how to have a successful career as an electrician. 90003 90006 Electrician Summary 90007 90008 90009 Job opportunities should be good, especially for those with the broadest range of skills. 90010 90009 Most electricians acquire their skills by completing an apprenticeship program usually lasting 4 years.90010 90009 About 79 percent of electricians work in the construction industry or are self-employed, but there also will be opportunities for electricians in other industries. 90010 90015 90006 Working as an Electrician 90007 90002 90019 Electricians 90020 install and maintain all of the electrical and power systems for our homes, businesses, and factories. They install and maintain the wiring and control equipment through which electricity flows. They also install and maintain electrical equipment and machines in factories and a wide range of other businesses.90003 90002 Electricians generally focus on either construction or maintenance, although many do both. Electricians specializing in construction primarily install wiring systems into factories, businesses, and new homes. Electricians specializing in maintenance fix and upgrade existing electrical systems and repair electrical equipment. All electricians must follow State and local building codes and the National Electrical Code when performing their work. 90003 90002 Electricians usually start their work by reading blueprints- technical diagrams that show the locations of circuits, outlets, load centers, panel boards, and other equipment.After determining where all the wires and components will go, electricians install and connect the wires to circuit breakers, transformers, outlets, or other components and systems. 90003 90002 When installing wiring, electricians use handtools such as conduit benders, screwdrivers, pliers, knives, hacksaws, and wire strippers, as well as power tools such as drills and saws. Later, they use ammeters, ohmmeters, voltmeters, harmonics testers, and other equipment to test connections and ensure the compatibility and safety of components.90003 90002 Maintenance electricians repair or replace electric and electronic equipment when it breaks. They make needed repairs as quickly as possible in order to minimize inconvenience. They may replace items such as circuit breakers, fuses, switches, electrical and electronic components, or wire. 90003 90002 Electricians also periodically inspect all equipment to ensure that it is operating properly and to correct problems before breakdowns occur. 90003 90002 Maintenance work varies greatly, depending on where an electrician works.Electricians who focus on residential work perform a wide variety of electrical work for homeowners. They may rewire a home and replace an old fuse box with a new circuit breaker box to accommodate additional appliances, or they may install new lighting and other electric household items, such as ceiling fans. These electricians also might do some construction and installation work. 90003 90002 Electricians in large factories usually do maintenance work that is more complex. These kinds of electricians may repair motors, transformers, generators, and electronic controllers on machine tools and industrial robots.They also advise management as to whether the continued operation of certain equipment could be hazardous. When working with complex electronic devices, they may consult with engineers, engineering technicians, line installers and repairers, or industrial machinery mechanics and maintenance workers. 90003 90002 90037 Work environment. 90038 Electricians work indoors and out, at construction sites, in homes, and in businesses or factories. The work may be strenuous at times and may include bending conduit, lifting heavy objects, and standing, stooping, and kneeling for long periods.Electricians risk injury from electrical shock, falls, and cuts, and must follow strict safety procedures to avoid injuries. Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics show that full-time electricians experienced a work-related injury and illness rate that was higher than the national average. When working outdoors, they may be subject to inclement weather. Some electricians may have to travel long distances to jobsites. 90003 90002 Most electricians work a standard 40-hour week, although overtime may be required.Those who do maintenance work may work nights or weekends and be on call to go to the worksite when needed. Electricians in industrial settings may have periodic extended overtime during scheduled maintenance or retooling periods. Companies that operate 24 hours a day may employ three shifts of electricians. 90003 90006 Training, Other Qualifications, and Advancement 90007 90002 Most electricians learn their trade through apprenticeship programs that combine on-the-job training with related classroom instruction.90003 90002 90037 Education and training. 90038 Apprenticeship programs combine paid on-the-job training with related classroom instruction. Joint training committees made up of local unions of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and local chapters of the National Electrical Contractors Association; individual electrical contracting companies; or local chapters of the Associated Builders and Contractors and the Independent Electrical Contractors Association usually sponsor apprenticeship programs.90003 90002 Because of the comprehensive training received, those who complete apprenticeship programs qualify to do both maintenance and construction work. Apprenticeship programs usually last 4 years. Each year includes at least 144 hours of classroom instruction and 2,000 hours of on-the-job training. In the classroom, apprentices learn electrical theory, blueprint reading, mathematics, electrical code requirements, and safety and first aid practices. They also may receive specialized training in soldering, communications, fire alarm systems, and cranes and elevators.90003 90002 On the job, apprentices work under the supervision of experienced electricians. At first, they drill holes, set anchors and attach conduit. Later, they measure, fabricate, and install conduit and install, connect, and test wiring, outlets, and switches. They also learn to set up and draw diagrams for entire electrical systems. Eventually, they practice and master all of an electrician’s main tasks. 90003 90002 Some people start their classroom training before seeking an apprenticeship.A number of public and private vocational-technical schools and training academies offer training to become an electrician. Employers often hire students who complete these programs and usually start them at a more advanced level than those without this training. A few people become electricians by first working as helpers-assisting electricians by setting up job sites, gathering materials, and doing other nonelectrical work-before entering an apprenticeship program. All apprentices need a high school diploma or a General Equivalency Diploma (G.E.D.). Electricians also may need additional classes in mathematics because they solve mathematical problems on the job. 90003 90002 Education continues throughout an electrician’s career. Electricians may need to take classes to learn about changes to the National Electrical Code, and they often complete regular safety programs, manufacturer-specific training, and management training courses. Classes on such topics as low-voltage voice and data systems, telephone systems, video systems, and alternative energy systems such as solar energy and wind energy increasingly are being given as these systems become more prevalent.Other courses teach electricians how to become contractors. 90003 90002 90037 Licensure. 90038 Most States and localities require electricians to be licensed. Although licensing requirements vary from State to State, electricians usually must pass an examination that tests their knowledge of electrical theory, the National Electrical Code, and local and State electric and building codes. 90003 90002 Electrical contractors who do electrical work for the public, as opposed to electricians who work for electrical contractors, often need a special license.In some States, electrical contractors need certification as master electricians. Most States require master electricians to have at least 7 years of experience as an electrician or a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or a related field. 90003 90002 90037 Other qualifications. 90038 Applicants for apprenticeships usually must be at least 18 years old and have a high school diploma or a G.E.D. They also may have to pass a test and meet other requirements. 90003 90002 Other skills needed to become an electrician include manual dexterity, eye-hand coordination, physical fitness, and a good sense of balance.Electricians also need good color vision because workers frequently must identify electrical wires by color. In addition, apprenticeship committees and employers view a good work history or military service favorably. 90003 90002 90037 Advancement. 90038 Experienced electricians can advance to jobs as supervisors. In construction, they also may become project managers or construction superintendents. Those with sufficient capital and management skills can start their own contracting business, although doing so often requires a special electrical contractor’s license.Supervisors and contractors should be able to identify and estimate costs and prices and the time and materials needed to complete a job. Many electricians also become electrical inspectors. 90003 90002 For those who seek to advance, it is increasingly important to be able to communicate in both English and Spanish in order to relay instructions and safety precautions to workers with limited understanding of English; Spanish-speaking workers make up a large part of the construction workforce in many areas.Spanish-speaking workers who want to advance in this occupation need very good English skills to understand electrician classes and installation instructions, which are usually written in English and are highly technical. 90003 90006 Employment as an Electrician 90007 90002 Electricians held about 694,900 jobs in 2008. About 65 percent of wage and salary workers were employed by electrical contracting firms, and the remainder worked as electricians in a variety of other industries. In addition, about 9 percent of electricians were self-employed.90003 90006 Job Outlook 90007 90002 Average employment growth is expected. Job prospects should be good, particularly for workers with the widest range of skills, including voice, data, and video wiring. 90003 90002 90037 Employment change. 90038 Employment of electricians should increase 12 percent between 2008 and 2018, about as fast as the average for all occupations. As the population grows, electricians will be needed to wire new homes, restaurants, schools, and other structures that will be built to accommodate the growing population.In addition, older buildings will require improvements to their electrical systems to meet modern codes and accommodate higher electricity consumption due to the greater use of electronic equipment in houses and workplaces. 90003 90002 New technologies also are expected to continue to spur demand for these workers. Robots and other automated manufacturing systems in factories will require the installation and maintenance of more complex wiring systems. In addition, efforts to boost conservation of energy in public buildings and in new construction will boost demand for electricians because electricians are key to installing some of the latest energy savers, such as solar panels and motion sensors for turning on lights.90003 90002 90037 Job prospects. 90038 In addition to jobs created by the increased demand for electrical work, openings are expected over the next decade as electricians retire. This will create good job opportunities, especially for those with the widest range of skills, including voice, data, and video wiring. Job openings for electricians will vary by location and specialty, however, and will be best in the fastest growing regions of the country. 90003 90002 Employment of electricians, like that of many other construction workers, is sensitive to the fluctuations of the economy.On the one hand, workers in these trades may experience periods of unemployment when the overall level of construction falls. On the other hand, shortages of these workers may occur in some areas during peak periods of building activity. 90003 90002 Although employment of maintenance electricians is steadier than that of construction electricians, those working in the automotive and other manufacturing industries that are sensitive to cyclical swings in the economy may experience layoffs during recessions.In addition, in many industries opportunities for maintenance electricians may be limited by increased contracting out for electrical services in an effort to reduce operating costs. However, increased job opportunities for electricians in electrical contracting firms should partially offset job losses in other industries. 90003 90006 Projections Data 90007 90100 90101 Projections data from the National Employment Matrix 90102 90103 90104 90105 Occupational Title 90106 90105 SOC Code 90106 90105 Employment, 2008 90106 90105 Projected 90112 Employment, 2018 90106 90114 Change, 90112 2008-18 90106 90117 90118 90104 90120 Number 90106 90120 Percent 90106 90118 90125 90126 90104 90128 Electricians 90106 90130 47-2111 90131 90130 694,900 90131 90130 777,900 90131 90130 83,000 90131 90130 12 90131 90140 90140 90118 90143 90144 90104 90146 NOTE: Data in this table are rounded.90131 90118 90149 90150 90006 Earnings for Electricians 90007 90002 In May 2008, median hourly wages of wage and salary electricians were $ 22.32. The middle 50 percent earned between $ 17.00 and $ 29.88. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $ 13.54, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $ 38.18. Median hourly wages in the industries employing the largest numbers of electricians were as follows: 90003 90155 90126 90104 90158 Electric power generation, transmission and distribution 90131 90160 $ ​​28.15 90131 90118 90104 90158 Local government 90131 90160 25.66 90131 90118 90104 90158 Nonresidential building construction 90131 90160 22.21 90131 90118 90104 90158 Building equipment contractors 90131 90160 21.72 90131 90118 90104 90158 Employment services 90131 90160 18.32 90131 90118 90143 90150 90002 Apprentices usually start at between 30 and 50 percent of the rate paid to fully trained electricians, depending on experience. As apprentices become more skilled, they receive periodic pay increases throughout their training.90003 90002 About 32 percent of all electricians are members of a union, especially the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. Among unions representing maintenance electricians are the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers; the International Union of Electronic, Electrical, Salaried, Machine, and Furniture Workers; the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers; the International Union, United Automobile, Aircraft and Agricultural Implement Workers of America; and the United Steelworkers of America.90003 .90000 Electrician Careers | The Princeton Review 90001 90002 A Day in the Life of a Electrician 90003 Many of our survey respondents said that they had been fascinated by electricity ever since they were small, and few were disappointed with their choice of careers. There are two general types of electrical work: Construction work, which includes reading blueprints, wiring, installing, and testing electrical systems; and maintenance work, which involves troubleshooting, testing, and fixing already installed, improperly functioning, electrical systems.Most construction electricians are employed by contractors during the secondary phases of building. Maintenance electricians work as freelancers or for large factories, office buildings, or hospitals. «If you make it through the training, and spend a little time with someone good, you’ll be all right,» commented one electrician. Almost all electricians go through an academically rigorous apprenticeship program. Only people with a careful eye for details, responsible work habits, and sound on-the-spot judgment should consider becoming electricians.Electricians must know how to read blueprints and specifications and install, connect, and test electrical devices and power sources. They must be familiar with local and federal electrical codes and regulations. Those who succeed have a sound theoretical understanding of electrical systems and good manual dexterity and patience. While on-the-job injuries are not uncommon, electricians are seriously injured by electricity at half the rate of the general population, while taking ten times the amount of risk.Most of these injuries occur at the end of long hours, when being rushed to complete a task, or when blueprints have been incorrectly drawn. An important part of becoming a good electrician is knowing when it would be dangerous to proceed. Electricians are finding that their profession is becoming linked with those who do computer and telecommunications wiring. These systems are installed at the same time, and more often than not, new structures are wired for networks and telecommunications immediately.Over 15 percent of electricians take additional classes on telecommunications systems, wiring, and the electrical interfaces to do this work themselves. 90004 Paying Your Dues 90005 Electricians work indoors and out, under both difficult and ordinary pressures, and are subjected to daily tests of mental acuity and physical dexterity. One of the few careers in this book that requires only a high school diploma, electricians enjoy one of the higher paid specialty-industry fields with a solid future, as America becomes more dependent on consistent and well-maintained supplies of electricity.Most people become electricians by entering an apprenticeship program through the sponsorship of an existing electrician. These programs are run by such unions as the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers or the National Electrical Contractors Association. Most programs take four to five years to complete. Candidates must attend nearly 160 hours of classroom instruction per year, but the emphasis is on practical experience. Over 800 hours of practical training are provided annually. Aspiring electricians should be mature and responsible, and have strong mathematical skills and good physical dexterity and stamina.Most states have their own licensing exams that test knowledge of local regulations as well as information contained in the National Electrical Code, the national register of electrical regulations. Please note that color-blind people can not become electricians, as all wiring is color-coded to avoid mistakes and injuries. 90004 Present and Future 90005 In the 1900s, when electricity was developed, electricians were responsible for the wiring, testing, and constructing of every electrical system, groundline, and socket in the U.S. Electricians are in high demand these days, primarily for maintenance rather than construction. Outdated electrical systems need upgrading. As sources of electricity change over time, methods of delivery and capacity differentiation will require that the electrician engage in continuing education. With the population growing and the power usage rising, the demand for electricians should be steady for the next ten years. Current population trends indicate that more work should be available in the South and Southwest than in the North and Northeast.90008 90004 Quality of Life 90005 90011 90012 PRESENT AND FUTURE 90013 90014 90011 Most training programs have progressed nearly halfway, and those who could not hack the academic rigor of these programs have been weeded out. At the two-year mark, the emphasis switches from classroom-based learning to practical considerations.
