Students interested in the Electrical Technology program are required to enroll in and complete the Elect 600, Electrical Program & Safety Preparation, course prior to registering for any electrical classes. Exceptions to this requirement are made for students in Carpentry, Sheet Metal, or other non-electrical trades programs who want to enroll in ELECT 202; and or Elect 253. These students may contact  Scott Fraser at sfraser@lbcc.edu and Suzanne Engelhardt at sengelhardt@lbcc.edu for the Prerequisite Waiver form. 

During the Elect 600, Electrical Program & Safety Preparation, students will have the opportunity to complete a 50 question online electrical math test that will be used as an advisory tool for choosing the appropriate electrical math class. Students who have completed any college math classes should be prepared to upload unofficial transcripts during the course so that their classes can be evaluated as substitutes for the Electrical math classes. Students may switch from the day or evening programs with instructor and Department Head approvals.

Faculty recommends that students that are eligible enroll in ENGL 801A and READ 881 before joining the program. In addition, students should have a valid CPR card or concurrent enrollment in a CPR class while participating in the Electrical Technology.
