Students who complete our structured Combined Pre-Apprenticeship program have the advantage of diversifying their skills into two relevant areas of training.
On the Construction and Maintenance Electrician component of the program, electricians lay out, assemble, install, test, troubleshoot and repair electrical wiring, fixtures, control devices and related equipment in buildings and other structures.
On the Network Cabling component of the program, it focuses on cabling issues related to data and voice connections and provides an understanding of the industry and its worldwide standards, types of media and cabling, physical and logical networks, as well as signal transmission. Students will develop skills in reading network design documentation, part list set up and purchase, pulling and mounting cable, cable management, choosing wiring closets and patch panel installation and termination; as well as installing jacks and cable testing.
Electricians with a network cabling background have an array of technical skills that allow them to be employed in a wide range of sectors. They are employed by electrical contractors, manufacturers, wholesalers, maintenance departments of buildings and other establishments; as well as employed by telephone and other telecommunication transmission service establishments, or they may be self-employed.
Upon completion of the program, students will have received theory instruction, together with hands on training method taught by highly trained instructors, in the following subjects:
Safety: Students learn about the safety requirements of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, safe work practices and procedures, WHMIS, Fall Protection, Lock Out & Tag Safety, Confined Spaces Hazard Awareness, Aerial Platform, and Scaffold Training.
Installation and Termination Methods: Students demonstrate the operation of hand and power tools; as well as installation procedures for switching devices, various cables, tubing and conduits. There will be emphasis on the Network Cabling side in the following areas:
- Install a wallboard adapter or telecommunications outlet box as required by customer specifications
- Dress cable in cable trays and apply wire management procedures as required
- Identify the common components of a building grounding and bonding system
- Fish cable through a wall or conduit to a work area outlet
