Electrical Systems Technology

The Electrical Systems Technology program at Advanced Technology Institute is a focused, hands-on training pathway designed to prepare students for entry-level careers in the electrical field. Over the span of seven months, students develop the practical and theoretical skills needed to install, maintain, and repair electrical systems in residential, commercial, and industrial environments. The curriculum covers AC and DC electrical theory, wiring methods, motor controls, backup power systems, and an introduction to renewable energy systems. Students receive instruction aligned with the National Electrical Code (NEC), and the program includes DPOR-approved hours that apply toward a Virginia Electrical Journeyman license.
