MEA Online Apprentice Training—The Electrician’s Training Course

Summer is here and the construction season is upon us. For contractors juggling multiple projects and working deadline to deadline, there has never been a greater need have an efficient and productive team of skilled workers. If you are fortunate to have apprentices working for you, there is little time left within the working day to effectively train them. MEA has a solution for you with our
Online Apprentice Training —The Electrician’s Training Course.

Your apprentices will dedicate 6 hours a week outside of work to related electrical training, with 3 hours online and 3 hours of homework and quizzes. This provides them with the education they will need to become a more valuable employee, and upon completion of the 4 years of training, your apprentices will be ready to pass the Electrical Journeyworker Exam.

Our Online Apprentice Training is preferred by electrical contractors for the following reasons:

• Flexibility – Classes can be taken from anywhere in the country with a laptop computer, eliminating the need for travel and maximizing your training schedule. This is ideal for apprentices that travel, and any missed classes can easily be made up by viewing the recorded sessions on our apprentice website.

• Interaction – Our courses are live with an actual instructor, eliminating the passive nature of other online training providers and increasing class interaction and participation. Our instructors are available to help answer any questions outside of class via email or phone. We keep you informed of their progress, and you have access to all grades and test results to track performance.

• Maintain a Full Work Schedule – Classes are held after working hours, so you avoid taking your apprentices off the job and increase their availability to work full time.

• Productivity – The technical knowledge gained from our program reduces the amount of time you spend training your apprentices and increases their productivity. By investing in your apprentices, you avoid costly rework and mistakes and increase their ability to plan ahead.

Investing in training for your employees means investing in the future of your business. Trained employees are more productive, make fewer mistakes and have increased job satisfaction. As a member of MEA, you receive a significant discount on course tuition and books.

Classes begin on September 25. For questions or to enroll, call us at 612-827-6117 or visit us at:
