Training
"Hassle-free projects" made possible by Branham Electric!
How do we know your new construction, maintenance or service project will be hassle-free? Because at Branham
Electric highly trained and educated electricians are the norm and not the exception. Our owners' realize that
well-trained electricians have higher self-confidence enabling them to provide you, our customer, with the highest
quality customer service and electrical installation possible. Our electricians benefit from the following training:
Independent Electrical Contractor's (IEC) programs include a four-year Apprenticeship Training Program and a
two-year Journeyman's Training Program. Both programs are:
 |
Certified by the Department of Labor's Bureau of Apprenticeship & Training (BAT) |
 |
Graduates receive a Department of Labor: Electrical Journeyman's Certification |
Students in both programs receive 172 hours of classroom and lab time per year. The four-year apprenticeship
program requires students to complete 8,000 hours of on-the-job training prior to receiving their journeyman's
certification. The two-year journeyman's program is designed for electricians who have over 8,000 hours of certifiable
electrical "field" experience, but no structured "classroom" training. Over 95% of Branham Electric's electricians
have completed one of these programs.
CONTINUING EDUCATION: Branham takes advantage of excellent electrical training programs
offered locally through the BAT Certified Independent Electrical Contractors (IEC), the St. Louis Electrical Board and the International Association of Electrical
Inspectors (IAEI). Course topics include: foreman's training, electrical grounding, NEC code classes and updates,
low voltage classes and certifications, fiber optics, motor controls/transformers, and project management just to
name a few.
SYSTEMS: Each of Branham's systems installer holds product certificates from each of the manufactures which
we install.
We offer 24-hour emergency service and
FREE estimates throughout the St. Louis metropolitan area. For electrical contracting services both small and
