"I recently secured an apprenticeship position at a commercial company. Your course was very straightforward and I learned more than I would have ever anticipated in this past year. I can now start my career, and be well on my way to being an electrician in the field which has been a goal of mine for a very long time. I had actually switched out of electrical engineering last year, and the switch into this course could not have been more seamless." — Brandon P.

"This course helped put me on a new career path that I am very excited for. Having a baby girl at home I wanted to find something that could give me a better work life balance than the hospitality field, and a trade that has a secure future. I was taken on as an apprentice for a small local electrical company in my area and I have been really loving it the past two weeks. They're going to sign me up and pay for my apprentice schooling through the state which starts in September. I'm beyond excited and hoping to reach journeyman status in the not-too-distant future." — Liam M.
