Upon completion of the course students should be able to:

1. Use lighting fundamentals, wiring methods, battery theory, trade-specific math, and NEC rules (especially as they apply to circuit breakers and receptacles) to discuss, explain, install, troubleshoot, maintain and repair electrical devices.
2. Draw and interpret blueprints and schematics.*
3. Use test equipment to make electrical measurements. *
4. Demonstrate appropriate use and care of trade-specific equipment. *
5. Demonstrate safe working conditions in accordance with state and federal regulations.*

*  these outcomes are required for statewide Apprenticeship Degree and Certificates and cannot be modified.

Because LBME Apprentices come from a wide variety of occupations and because Related Training Courses complement the Apprentice's On-The-Job (OJT) Training, this course is primarily lecture with accompanying homework assignments using Del mars standard textbook of electricity and the american electricians handbook, providing students with a solid knowledge base.

Procedures will be discussed at the first class session and the instructor's grading policy will be referenced on the class syllabus.  A pass/no pass grading option is not available for any APR(Apprenticeship) Course.
