Program Overview
Program Goal
Intermediate & Advanced Residential Wiring builds students’ knowledge and skills in residential electrical construction, progressing from foundational electrical theory, safe work practices, tool identification and use, and basic wiring techniques to more advanced residential applications. Students will develop hands-on skills used in single-family dwellings, including lighting and receptacle circuits, reading and interpreting simple electrical diagrams, and applying code-minded planning and documentation.
As students progress, instruction expands to multi-location switching, box-fill and ampacity calculations, GFCI and AFCI applications, circuit troubleshooting, and the installation and modification of residential wiring systems. Students will also be introduced to old-work applications, learning how electricians add devices and circuits to existing homes while minimizing damage to finished surfaces.
Safety First: Safety is emphasized throughout the course. Students must successfully complete all required safety instructions and assessments before participating in independent shop work. Live electrical work is not permitted; energized demonstrations are teacher-controlled.
