Apprenticeship Education

Apprenticeship Course Information

The most accelerated, affordable & convenient course in Colorado!

As native Coloradans, we understand how diverse our State is geographically and realized that many apprentices did not have access to the required education. We offer our Apprenticeship Education Course in a live, interactive, virtual classroom. This allows anyone convenient access to our course.

The Virtual Classroom

With a PC, laptop or tablet, students can join our weekly evening class from the comfort of their home or office. We utilize a state of the art Learning Management System. All online courses and tests are administered through this system. We also have live recordings in the event that a student can not attend the live course.

Live Interactive Polling

We also utilize an audience participation platform that allows our instructor to ask questions that our students can respond to with a smart device in real-time. This allows for great interaction and keeps students involved and interested.

In the virtual classroom, students will be able to see all materials and they will hear the instructor. Online students can ask questions or make comments by typing into the chatbox. They also have the option with a camera and/or microphone to be seen on screen and to be able to verbally address the class. They can even have access to share their screen if they want to share something. These tools allow for great collaboration.

Timeline

Our Apprenticeship Education Course is an 18-month course, broken into three six month semesters. We meet the required 288 hours of classroom education by joining one evening a week from 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Enrollment is Open for our June 25th, 2024 Apprentice Education Course!

Tuition and Books

Tuition is $3,000 for the entire course. We proudly utilize Mike Holt Enterprises for our curriculum. The books for the entire course are $325. We can also supply a current NEC code book with tabs for an additional $175.

The tuition and books can be paid in full upon enrollment, or we offer a convenient payment plan. This payment plan consists of three payment installments. Upon enrollment, the first-semester tuition of $1,000 and course books of $325 are due.  The second tuition payment of $1,000 will be due upon the start of the second semester. The third and final payment of $1,000 is due at the start of the third semester.

Course Completion

At the completion of the course, Empowered Electrical Education will send the student a course completion certificate and other documents that will need to be submitted for licensure. We will also make certain that the student knows how to apply through the state for their test and license.

I loved taking your class, you are an amazing teacher. I learned a lot, the practice test were awesome and definitely helped. I felt very confident and prepared going into my test. When I signed up for class I though it was going to be forever. 18 months seemed like a long time but it went by super fast. I am so grateful for you! Thank you for everything!!

Ryan is a patient instructor that cares about the education of his students but he also grew up in the trade and understands the struggles or situations that we come across in our field. If you would like to advance your career as an electrician, I would highly recommend this class, it is well worth the investment.

Jay - Fort Collins, CO

I passed my Journeyman's test today, first try! Thanks so much for everything! Never would've done it without the class!

Jake- Thornton, CO

This class has been a great accomplishment for me and something that I am very proud of. I honestly don’t know how I would have ever passed the Journeyman's Test without taking this class. I thoroughly enjoyed every Thursday night class and couldn’t wait for the following week. Ryan made this class very interesting and gave me the drive to want to learn the material and be able to apply it to my daily activities. This was by far the best decision and money well spent. I feel like the class with Ryan was exactly what I needed to prepare myself to take the Journeyman's Test. Ryan’s understanding and explaining of every article in the code book made learning very easy. I highly recommend taking Ryan’s class to anyone that wants to further their knowledge of the code book, or to anyone that is starting in the electrical field.

Daniel - Durango, CO

I would highly recommend this Apprentice Education Course to anyone looking to learn from someone with a lot of varied field experience who really cares about his students. A lot of effort is put into the class itself as well as into making supplemental documents to help with dwelling unit calculations, voltage drop calculations, setting up friendly competitions using Turning Point and much more. This course is well organized and really compliments all the things you learn out in the field. Thank you for a great class, Ryan. I really do appreciate all you did for the class and all of your insight and knowledge. You are an excellent instructor!

Stacey- Silverthorn , CO

I successfully passed my ME exam! I appreciate you being so helpful in providing further material for me to succeed.

Dane, Denver, CO

Ryans an incredible teacher and thanks to him I know how to find anything I need in the code book. But what really stands out is his approach to class. The first thing we do every week is address anything that came up at work that we had questions about. Whether it was about interpretation of the code or how to make an existing installation safe, he always made sure we had time to discuss our questions. It may be an online class but you feel like you're a part of a community.

Tom, Durango, CO

As a recent graduate of your Electrical Apprentice Education class I want you to know how pleased I am with the class material and your instruction. I passed the JW test on my first attempt. I couldn’t have done it without you.

Marc, Boulder, CO

Thank you for all you did for myself and the class over the last 18 months. I wanted to let you know that I took the journeyman's test today and got a 92% on it! I couldn't have done it without your help and top notch instruction. I highly recommend Empowered Electrical Education to all the guys on our crew. I look forward to working with you again in the future.
