Electrician Schools in Missouri

Narrow your search:

Electrician schools in Missouri offer four-year apprenticeship programs that teach students the skills and knowledge to prepare them for entry-level licensed electrician’s work. The craft is still taught using an apprenticeship model because it is best learned through a blend of intensive hands-on training and classroom instruction according to the National Electrical Code (NEC). The common electrical apprenticeship can be competed in four years, although some programs can take as long as five years.

The electrical trade has always been a popular field of study because of the solid wages and steady growth. The U.S. Department of Labor estimates that this field will grow by an above-average 12% through 2018. Students work a 40 hour work week and earn about one-third of the salary as a licensed electrician. The average hourly wage of an electrician is $22.32. Each state sets regulations and licensing requirements so interested students should inquire about their individual state. The Missouri Secretary of State Business Services Corporation handles licensing in the state.
