About the Program

The Electrical Apprenticeship Program at CSI is a 4-year, state-approved program designed to launch your career as a licensed Journeyman Electrician.

You'll earn while you learn-working full-time under a licensed electrician while attending evening classes designed to build your knowledge of the National Electrical Code, safety, systems, and installation practices.

How It Works

• Earn while you learn: Get employed by a licensed electrician while attending school part-time

• Hands-on, career-focused education delivered by experienced instructors

• Flexible class options (hybrid or fully online)

• Prepares you for the Journeyman Electrician exam after completing coursework and required work hours

Career Outlook

Electricians are in high demand across Idaho and the U.S. This program sets you up for long-term success in a high-paying, essential trade-with the opportunity to grow, specialize, or even start your own business.

State Reciprocity

State reciprocity means that one state recognizes the electrical license or certification granted by another state. This allows the journeyman electrician to work in the reciprocating state without having to meet all the new state's licensing requirements from scratch-such as retaking exams or redoing apprenticeship hours.

Idaho has reciprocal journeyman agreements with: Colorado, Maine, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming.

Flexible Class Options to Fit Your Schedule

We offer convenient hybrid and online class formats to support working apprentices across the region.

Hybrid (Available in Twin Falls and Burley)

• Course content is delivered both online and in-person, with access to labs

• One evening per week of in-person class attendance is required

Online (Instructor-Led)

• All coursework is delivered 100% online through an instructor-led platform

• Students are required to attend a live online class every other week (bi-weekly) in the evening

• This option is best for self-motivated individuals who can stay on track and manage their time effectively

Apprentices vs. Journeyman

• Electrical Apprentice is any person who, for the purpose of learning the trade of journeyman electrician, engages in the installation of electric wiring or equipment while under the constant on-the-job supervision of a qualified journeyman electrician.
• Electrician Journeyman can install and maintain multiple types of electrical systems found in homes, apartments, and facilities such as high rise condominiums, strip malls, schools, hospitals, wastewater, and manufacturing industries. This includes installing and or replace new lighting and lighting control systems, receptacles, motors and motor controlling equipment, heating equipment, and building automation systems that control the operation of all of a facility’s energy usage.
