Such as North American Trade Schools, students just need completed high school, and have a personal interview with school, and then students can get into school start the Electrical Technology Training. The required and elective courses you would take in the program of Electrician: Accounting, Applied Mathematics, Digital Communications, Electrical Networks, Safety and Semiconductor Devices.

When students completed their electrical apprenticeship training students can certify they are journeyperson electrician and they can carry out work by passing an exam which called C of Q and set by the provinces or country. Some electrician are worked for 5 years and have graduated from related high school, or apprenticeship training, they also can take that the C of Q certification exam.Certification to work in a trade in Ontario is named a Certificate of Qualification, it is C of Q.
