In an effort to deliver a curriculum which is both current and timely, the Bermuda College in collaboration with the Electrical Occupational Advisory Committee (EOAC) and the National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (NJATC) of America have adopted this comprehensive modular programme as the standard for apprenticeship training in Bermuda. The programme will take five years to complete and upon successful completion of the entire course, the student will be certified as a Journeyman Inside Wireman by both the NJATC and the Bermuda College. The NJATC certificate is highly regarded in the US and Canada and around the world wherever US and Canadian electrical standards are in use.
Studying under the guidance of an experienced lecturer, students work through the modules in order, covering theoretical concepts while honing their practical skills. The passing grade for each module is 75%.
The apprenticeship programme is very broad based, covering all areas of the trade and providing the graduate with the skill, knowledge and confidence to enter a dynamic and exciting industry. Additionally, instructors in the programme bring meaning to a high tech industry that is more rapidly changing than the curriculum can reflect. The experience and understanding that these individuals bring to the classroom make the programme the most unique way to learn to work in the electrical industry.
