Continuing Education Options for Electricians in Connecticut

Those who work in electrical engineering and construction know that their education is never complete. While every electrician has to put their time in and attend school to learn their trade, it’s also essential to stay current on the industry’s latest technology and new ways of working with electrical wiring. 

Some states even require electricians to continue their education after graduation. For example, Connecticut law dictates that all electricians must complete four continuing education credits per year, which roughly equates to a day-long course.
