TRAD2065 - Electrician Journey Worker EJ 260 Program 8-Week Intensive Track
Course Description
The Electrician Journey Worker (EJ 260) Licensing Preparation Program is a 260-hour, in-person training program designed for experienced electrical workers preparing for the Hawaiʻi DCCA licensing exam. The goal of the program is to fulfill the State of Hawaiʻi Licensing Boardʻs requirement to sit and prepare for the Hawaiʻi Electrical Journeyman exam.
This 8-Week intensive is designed for those who are between jobs or who are ready to go all-in and complete their preparation as quickly as possible. This schedule offers opportunities for participants to engage in electrical labs and assessments that support.
