Year 1
New worker
- Jobsite and electrical safety
- DC theory and math
- Tools, drawings and residential foundation
Electrical trades · five-year base map
Build electrical knowledge, craft evidence, and field judgment together.
The planned framework pairs related technical instruction with sponsor-approved, supervised on-the-job learning across safety, theory, code, wiring methods, services, grounding, motors, controls, systems, troubleshooting, modern power, and leadership.
Important status: TTS does not currently represent this as a Registered Apprenticeship Program. A sponsor and registration agency must approve apprenticeship standards, hours, supervision, ratios, wages, records, and completion terms before any such claim or enrollment.
Five-year related-instruction framework
Each year increases scope, integration, and proof.
Year 2
Branch and distribution basics
- AC theory
- Conductors and raceways
- Services, grounding and transformers
Year 3
Commercial systems
- Three-phase power
- Motors and controls
- Commercial wiring and lighting
Year 4
Industrial and automation
- VFDs and distribution
- PLCs and instrumentation
- Special and emergency systems
Year 5
Integrated practice
- Advanced code and diagnostics
- PV, storage and EV infrastructure
- Commissioning, planning and leadership
Planning targets
Instruction and field hours must answer to approved standards.
180
Proposed RTI hours per year
A planning value only. Final related-instruction hours are controlled by approved apprenticeship standards.
5
Proposed instructional years
Each year ends with theory/code, calculations, practical demonstration, OJL review, and an advancement decision.
8,000
Draft OJL-hour framework
Hours must be distributed across approved work processes. A sponsor may change every category and target before registration.
No automatic apprenticeship or licensing credit
TTS must not claim that these proposed hours are accepted until an approved sponsor, registration agency, and applicable licensing authority say so in writing. Online modules never authorize energized work or replace apprentice registration, journeyworker supervision, employer training, permits, or inspections.
OJL work-process families
Hours must show range, repetition, quality, and increasing independence.
Installation fundamentals
Safety and hazardous-energy control; tools and material handling; drawings and layout; boxes, supports, raceways and pathways; conductors, pulling, splicing and terminations.
Power systems
Services, feeders, branch circuits and panelboards; grounding and bonding; transformers; motors, controls, industrial equipment, and protective systems.
Testing and special systems
Lighting and controls; testing, troubleshooting and commissioning; fire alarm and limited-energy awareness; PV, storage, EV and distributed-energy tasks.
Professional progression
Planning, coordination, quality, documentation, inspection readiness, deficiency correction, crew communication, customer communication, and turnover.
Safety and advancement
Time alone does not establish competence.
THEORY
Complete required related instruction, attendance, written theory/code assessment, and calculation work with units and source references.
PRACTICAL
Demonstrate the assigned task from current drawings and requirements with no critical safety failure.
FIELD
Show sponsor-reviewed OJL distribution, mentor evaluation, real task variety, quality, and increasing independence.
ADVANCE
Advance only when instruction, practical evidence, conduct, and sponsor-controlled field records agree.
Immediate-stop conditions
Unauthorized work, defeated protection, unverified de-energization, improper instruments or PPE, resistance testing on energized circuits, unsafe energization, concealed/uninspected work, or false records require stop, remediation, and documented re-evaluation.
Program leadership
Master-electrician review is planned from the beginning.
TTS has identified a prospective founding electrical lead with 25 years as a master electrician and company owner, with experience from residential work through data centers. Public appointment and program authority will follow written agreement, active-license and good-standing verification, lab/OJL control approval, and required school review.
