IEC Education of Utah

“Training Utah’s Next Generation of Electricians”

IEC of Utah will be there to teach and train you every step of the way on your apprenticeship path! Below you will find information on individual classes and what to do after you have completed registration.

Books

Books and tuition will appear on the same invoice. Books purchased during "A" semester registration will also be used for the "B" semester of that same year. You must purchase books if you are a new student or if you are transferring to IEC. Books will be available for pickup at Back-to-School Night and other dates before the semester starts. Shipping is also available for an additional fee. For more information on books, click

Log-in Information

Once registration is complete, you will receive details on how to access your course on the first day of the semester. Please log in to the digital classroom to access additional information. Your username will be your email, and your password will be your first and last name with no space in between in all lowercase.
Please contact us if you are having trouble logging in. We will send you a link to reset your password.
NOTE FOR ADJUNCT STUDENTS:
If you are attending through another IEC Chapter, contact your chapter for payment and book information. Access codes will be emailed on the first Monday when classes begin.

Classes

Our school follows an in-person/online hybrid model. IEC of Utah does its best to accommodate all students and schedules. Each year of training focuses on specific curriculum to best prepare students to pass their Journeyman's Exam.

In-person

Sessions are recorded live and uploaded to the digital classroom where students can view during the live recording or anytime during that week. Schedules for these will be posted on the first day of the semester.

In-person, hand-on labs are a requirement for apprenticeship training. They are held in our classrooms twice during each semester. Instructors are present and able to teach and critique each student for success.

Continued study of the NEC for residential systems. Focus on Ohm's Law in parallel and combination circuits. Introduction to specialty tools and systems such as swimming pools and hot tubs. Safety remains a core part of each lesson.

Course 2A:
Introduction to NEC Chapter 5 with a systems approach to the code. Discusses AC electrical theory, including induction, capacitance, and impedance. Covers single-phase transformer theory and code while reviewing prior concepts. Safety is emphasized in every lesson.

Course 2B:
Continued systems approach to the NEC. Topics include three-phase transformer theory and code, as well as motor theory and code. Safety is incorporated into all lessons.

Course 3A:
In-depth study of electrical grounding and bonding, along with related theory and code. Includes a comprehensive analysis of print reading for large commercial projects. Safety is addressed in every lesson.

Course 3B:
Introduction to motor control components, circuitry, and logic. Students learn to create, read, and analyze ladder-logic diagrams. Safety is an integral part of every lesson.

Course 4A:
Advanced study of motor control circuits, including timers, counters, and automatic devices. Topics include troubleshooting, PLCs, and fire suppression systems. Safety is reviewed in every lesson.

Course 4B:
Comprehensive review of the NEC and theoretical concepts. Safety is consistently reviewed in each lesson

Offset Classes

For students who have missed the late registration period or cannot attend the semester a class is offered due to personal circumstances, IEC of Utah offers offset classes. Offset courses are intended for students to "catch up" to their peers if a semester was missed. The 1A offset and 2A offset courses are offered during the spring semester. The 1B offset and 2B offset courses are offered during the summer semester. The summer semester lasts 14 weeks, and no other courses are offered during the summer at this time.
