Tuition & Fees
Tuition and fees for this program are being finalized. An advisor will share current costs, what's included, and any available payment options during your consultation.

Licensing & Regulatory Clarification
In California, electricians performing work for C-10 contractors generally must be state-certified through the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE) or enrolled as electrician trainees in an approved program. This course does not provide certification, trainee registration, or apprenticeship hours, and VR simulations do not count toward required on-the-job experience.
