Past Student: "This program gave me the confidence that directly applies to the real world. We wired circuits, installed panels, and studied the National Electrical Code. Mr. Blizzard is so knowledgeable; he created a classroom environment where we worked hard and learned a lot. He always treated us like were workers out at a job site, which made me feel respected. I felt confident entering the workforce after graduation."
