Electricians install electrical systems in structures; they install wiring and other electrical components, such as circuit breaker panels, switches, and light fixtures, and they follow blueprints, the National Electrical Code® and state and local codes. To prepare trainees a career in the electrical field, NCCER offers a comprehensive, Electrical curriculum that complies with DOL time-based standards for apprenticeship. The new sixth edition of Electrical has also been fully updated to the 2011 NEC® and includes revisions to the module examinations. The workbook questions, now Supplemental Exercises, have been incorporated into the textbook so that they’re contained in one convenient location for easy reference.
