The apprenticeship
program is a
combination of on-the-job-training and formal classroom
instruction. |
 |
| The training for both
instrument and electrical journeyman takes four years to complete and is
recognized by the U.S. Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training (BAT).
|
|
During that time, the electrical apprentice
will be assigned to work in the following areas:
- Residential and Rough Wiring
- Residential and Commercial Finish Work
- Industrial Lighting and Service
Installation
- Industrial Power Systems Installation
- Motor Installation and Controls
- Troubleshooting
|
The apprentice instrument technician will be
assigned to work in the following areas:
- Industrial Process Control
- Instrument and Tubing Installation
- Process connections
- Bench Testing and Calibrations of
Instruments
|
|
Formal classroom instruction for the
electrical apprentice follows the IEC
apprenticeship training curriculum and covers subjects such as: |
 |
- Mathematics
- Safety Electrical Theory
- Electrical
Circuits
- Electrical Wiring Methods
- National Electrical Code
- Ohm's Law
|
- AC and DC Theory
- Blueprint Reading
- Motor Controls
- Transformers
- Solid State Controls
|
| Formal Classroom
instruction for the apprentice instrument technician follows the ISA-Instrument
Technology Training Program which provides
an overview of the process variables, such as pressure, temperature,
level, flow, density, mass and volume. These variables are
approached in terms of their application to industrial process systems
and the physical principals that determine the means used to measure
them. Subjects included in this program are: |
- Mathematics
- Safety
- Electrical Theory
- Electrical Circuits
- Ohm's Law
- AC and DC Theory
|
- Blueprint Reading
- Loop Sheets
- Solid State Control
- ANSI Standards
- Physics
- Control Fundamentals
|
 |
| The Professional Technician and Instrument
Tech must always continue to learn about new technology.
Continuing Education Classes are a vital part of our training
programs. National Electrical Code Review, new Standards,
Technical skills enhancement, Programmable Logic Controllers, Fiber
Optics, High Voltage Testing and Splicing, and Safety Training are just
a few of the courses taught to journeyman level employees. |
