WECA is excited to announce a new way students can take GetWired 303, the eleventh class in WECA's Path to an Electrician Trainee Program Certificate!

For students who would prefer to take this course at their own pace, on their own time, we're now offering a fully self-paced online option, just like we've been offering for earlier courses in the GetWired series! Students who might prefer this format include:

• Students with job, childcare, or other obligations preventing them from taking the instructor-led scheduled courses in the evenings
• Students who would benefit from being able to review the material at a slower pace, such as students for whom English is a second language
• Students who just prefer to work on the coursework at times and places when it works best for them

WECA's new GetWired 303 Self-Paced Option is an entirely online, self-paced alternative version of our GetWired 303 course, which builds on the skills learned in GetWired 301 and 302 by getting experience planning commercial electrical installations. Identify needed resources, job specifications, applicable codes, and information from the owner/architect, and AHJ and coordinate them all with specific blueprints. You will work on three independent projects, including:

• Assignment 1 - Job pre-planning
• Assignment 2 - Preliminary electrical room layout
• Assignment 3 - Plan conflict-free electrical installations

Next, you will explore Electronic Components, Electronic Circuits, and the Electrical Theory that underpins them.

This course is not for beginners. Students who enroll in GetWired 303 should:

• Have basic blueprint reading experience (including A, C, L, M, P, and E sheets)
• Have experience using construction documents and electrical specifications (equipment cut-sheets, submittals, electrical contracts, RFI, change orders, and more)
• Have a good understanding of electrical theory
• Have considerable experience using the National Electrical Code (NEC)
• Total class hours available: 32
• Standard Tuition Fee: $349

If all of this sounds like it would work for you,
