New self-paced course option for your employees: GetWired 202

Thursday, April 6, 2023

Introducing the next self-paced online option for our GetWired Electrician Trainee Program series:

GetWired 202: Self-Paced Three-Phase Electrical Systems, Conductors and Overcurrent Protection, Grounding, Wiring Methods, Basic Trigonometry and Vectors

Your employees can take it on their own time, at their own pace!

WECA is excited to announce another way students can take GetWired 202, the sixth class in WECA's Path to an Electrician Trainee Program Certificate!

We've long offered GetWired 202 as an instructor-led online course with one hands-on lab on a Saturday. And we still do!

But for students who would prefer to take this course at their own pace, on their own time, we're now offering a fully self-paced online option, just like we've been offering for earlier courses in the GetWired series! Students who might prefer this format include:

  • Students with job, childcare, or other obligations preventing them from taking the instructor-led scheduled courses in the evenings
  • Students who would benefit from being able to review the material at a slower pace, such as students for whom English is a second language
  • Students who just prefer to work on the coursework at times and places when it works best for them
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WECA's new GetWired 202 Self-Paced Option is an entirely online, self-paced alternative version of our GetWired 202 course, which expands on the concepts and skills built in earlier courses. Topics covered include:

  • Conductors and overcurrent protection
  • Types of three-phase transformers
  • Three-phase transformer calculations and connections
  • Grounding
  • Wiring methods
  • Basic trigonometry and vectors
  • Sizing branch circuits – Part 1 – interactive lab

GetWired 202 Self-Paced includes project-based learning designed to help your employees develop the on-the-job skills they need to be an expert electrician. This course is loaded with interactive practice and an online, self-guided lab to ensure that skills covered in class can be applied on-the-job.

  • Total class hours available: 36
  • Standard Tuition Fee: $389

If all of this sounds like it would work for your employees, encourage them to enroll in GetWired 202 Self-Paced Online today!
