Residential Wiring Certificate

Wake Tech Course ID: C35130A

The Residential Wiring Certificate is the first tier in the wiring certificates. This certificate introduces students to the National Electric Code (NEC) and how it applies to residential applications. Students learn how to install residential circuits, interpret the NEC and read blueprints for the residential installations.

The curriculum is based on the assumption that students have no prior knowledge or experience in electricity or electronics. The Electrical Systems Technology faculty are licensed electricians and bring a rich and diverse set of field experiences to the classroom.
