About the Electrician Program
About the Electrician ProgramTake the first steps toward an in-demand trade career with the Electrician diploma program at OBC
Electricity powers so much of our daily lives — from our lights to our laptops, our cell phones to our appliances. We depend on it everywhere we go, whether it’s at home, at the office, at the grocery store or the hospital, or even when we’re waiting at a stoplight. And when the lines go dark, whether from bad weather or bad timing or just everyday malfunctions, there is one person that everyone calls to get things back online: an electrician.
At Ohio Business College, you can enroll in an electrical technician diploma program that can prepare you for an entry-level position as an electrician, providing skills and services that are needed in a variety of settings, including residential, commercial and industrial. Whether it’s wiring a new building, fixing an electrical problem, or getting old wiring up to code, Ohio Business College can get you the hands-on training you need to become employed in this vital field.
Curriculum
The Electrician diploma program at Ohio Business College is geared toward the hands-on training that you need to step right into the workforce as a junior electrician. Students learn theory in the classroom and then apply those skills in a lab setting, including the installation and maintenance of electrical wiring, transformers, a/c and d/c motor control circuits, instrumentation and programmable logic controller, and more. The 48-credit hour electrical technician training program includes courses like:
- Wiring, Cabling, & Connections
- Motors & Controls
- Low Voltage
- Residential Installation
- Commercial Installation
Getting trained in a vital new trade career shouldn’t require you putting everything on hold, which is why our Lorain campus offers the Electrician training program full-time, day or evening, in order to accommodate students’ busy schedules. We think each of our Ohio Business College students deserves personalized attention from instructors, which is why we keep our class sizes small and focused, providing the kind of professional learning environment best suited for adults who are already juggling jobs, families and other commitments.
