An electrician trainee is someone learning the skills to become an electrician. They may need to complete high school, apply for a trainee certificate, and work as an apprentice for up to four years before passing exams to become a certified electrician.
An electrician trainee is a person learning the skills needed to become an electrician who can work independently within the field. The term can refer to more than one level of training; in some cases it may refer to an entry-level worker who is learning the skills needed to become an apprentice. In other cases, an apprentice electrician is essentially an apprentice who is actively learning the job. In the former case, the intern is essentially an apprentice, while in the latter case the intern is a person working to obtain traveler certification.
In either case, it is likely that the trainee electrician needs to complete high school or is working towards a diploma or equivalent qualification. Basic to moderate math skills will be required, as well as moderate communication skills. The candidate will need to apply for an electrician trainee certificate, which usually involves paying an application fee and completing an application that specifies the candidate’s education and experience. Candidates may be selected for a position even if they have little or no experience, but instead have a willingness to learn and a demonstrated work ethic.
An apprenticeship can be harder to find as the positions are quite competitive and the work is difficult. An apprenticeship can last up to four years or more, and during that time, the apprentice electrician will work with an electrician who will teach the apprentice the skills needed to succeed in the position. At the beginning of the apprenticeship, the intern is likely to perform only low-level job duties, such as preparing a workspace or basic cleaning jobs. As learning progresses and the apprentice electrician learns more of the skills needed to perform various jobs safely and effectively, he or she can be confident doing more complex work.
The apprentice electrician must also complete classroom work during the apprenticeship, and at the end of the apprenticeship period, he will need to pass several exams that will certify him as a traveling electrician. This exam can be difficult, and if the learner fails, he or she may need to continue learning for an even longer period. If the intern is approved, he or she will be considered a traveler who can work independently as an electrician without formal guidance.
