Welcome to the Vinal  Technical  High School Adult Education Program.  This web site provides information regarding how to become a licensed electrician in the State of Connecticut.

To become an E 2  licensed electrician, you must comply with three basic requirements. First, you must complete seven hundred and twenty hours of classroom instruction. Second, you must log eight thousand hours of on the job training with an electrical contractor. Finally, you must pass a board exam administered by the Department of Consumer Protection.

Upon completion of these three steps, you will receive your electrical license.

This program is great for individuals looking to change careers or, as an alternative for a college degree. Best of all, the program is quite inexpensive when compared to college tuition costs.

If you are working for an electrical contractor, and have been registered as an apprentice with the Department of labor, your tuition cost is $100.00 per course, and $25.00 for registration fee, each semester. Connecticut State law requires that employers pay 50% of the tuition cost for every apprentice registered by the company. The rule applies to apprentices taking classes in State sponsored educational programs. This allows apprentices to receive the required education for approximately $1,200.00, plus the cost of books, after four years of instruction.

If you are not a registered apprentice, you are considered an extension student. Under this classification, the tuition cost per course is $275.00, plus $25.00 for registration, each semester. For approximately $5,700.00, plus the cost of books, an extension student, can complete the required course work in four years.
