| Curriculums for Electrical courses are from the National Center for Construction Education & Research (NCCER), which is affiliated with the University of Florida. NCCER is an education foundation created to develop industry-driven standardized craft training programs, with portable credentials, and help address the critical workforce shortage facing the construction industry. The curriculum is module-based curriculums, and consists of five (5) parts.
The Department of Fire Prevention & Electrical Safety for the State of Wyoming has approved the program and instructors as an official Apprentice Training Program. Therefore, the hours spent can be registered by the students with the State of Wyoming toward an apprenticeship.
