About Us Page

The SouthWest Electrical Training Center was formed in 2004 to address the training needs of the electrical industry in Arizona. Prior to its inception, electrical training was available only through union affiliations, local trade associations, or employer’s in-house programs. A few colleges and trade schools provided additional educational resources, but none offered formalized or custom training programs statewide.

The SouthWest Electrical Training Center is considered an open-shop or merit shop training provider; servicing the residential, commercial, and industrial electrical industry. No Trade Association or Union membership is required. Our unique approach to craft training, apprenticeship training, and internship training programs blends electrical craft training, “soft-skills” training, and leadership training; utilizing instructor-based and computer/internet-based training media.

Related training for apprenticeship programs are taught on a "fast-track" format. Students attend classes for 3-months, are off for 1-month, then resume another 3-month training session. Students will complete related training of a traditional 4-year apprenticeship program in 2-years and 7-months! Many of our students receive credit through local community colleges.

Now employers and students statewide can benefit from a state and federally approved apprenticeship program, whether they live in Page, Yuma, Sierra Vista, Lake  Havasu City, Flagstaff, Apache Junction, or the greater Phoenix  or Tucson area. We are able to set up customized electrical training programs where you work or live.

The following Electrical Contractors have participated in our training programs this year: Hyde Electric, Wilson Electric,  Antelope Run Electric, Castro Electric, Sierra Vista Electric, Thunder Mountain Electric, Loma Electric, LectraServ, Corona Electric, Sylvain Electric, Earuss Electric, Yaqui Electric, Sunstar Electric, Jim’s Electric Service, Force Electric, Desert Horizon Electric, Cissell Electric, Blue Star Electric,  and Overhead & Underground Electric.

The SouthWest Electrical Training Center is a registered apprenticeship program with the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, and the State of Arizona Commerce Department.

The SouthWest Electrical Training Center is accredited by the National Center for Construction, Education and Research (NCCER).

Summer 2008 classes are now posted. See the Registration Page for current class offerings.
