All students are expected to act maturely and are required to respect other students and faculty members. Any violation of school policy may result in permanent dismissal from school.

Dismissal

Any student may be dismissed for violating the rules and regulations of the school as set forth in school publications. A student also may be withdrawn from classes if he or she does not prepare sufficiently, neglects assignments, is disruptive, or makes unsatisfactory progress with classes or monthly payments. The Director, after consultation with all parties involved, makes the final decision. The Director of Education may temporarily suspend any student whose conduct is disruptive or unacceptable to the academic setting. After appropriate counseling, students who demonstrate a genuine desire to learn and conform to school standards of conduct may be allowed to resume attendance with a possible 3 day probation period. The Director will review each case and decide upon re-admittance.

Facilities

The School meets online.
The administration is at:
720 South Clinton Street Denver, Colorado 80247

Educational Services

Programs are for apprentices that are serious about becoming a journeyman or master electrician.

Subjects taught mainly focus on the National Electrical Code, but we also provide knowledge to be used day to day.

Occupational Objective is to provide top quality "Tradesmen" to fill a growing need in the electrical construction industry.

The length of EACH Objective is five months. This accelerated schedule allows us to teach 4 years of information in 23 months. If you have accumulated enough time working in the field to be able to take the test, you can be sure to have been taught the knowledge to pass your Residential Wireman license in 11 months and 23 months for a journeyman. The number of lessons would equal approximately 126 hours per 5 months, 504 for the entire Program.
