The Electrical Technology – State Licensure Pathway enables students to fulfill the 600 apprenticeship educational schooling hours required to sit for the Journeyman Electrician’s exam. Successful completion of either the certificate or degree program provides these hours. Since MCC has some of the best hands-on training equipment and is fully accredited, students may also earn hands-on field experience toward the 8,000 hours required by the State of NH from successful completion of laboratory and classroom experimentation. Students in this pathway must be actively registered with the State of NH OPLC as a licensed apprentice.
After obtaining a Journeyman Electrician License, students who wish to obtain a Master Electrician License can do so after 30 more hours of electrical-related continuing educational schooling and 2,000 more hours of hands-on field experience.
The mission of the Electrical Technology program is to provide students with the foundation to become effective electrical technicians, electrical apprentices, utility substation electricians or lineworkers.
