The Academy boasts 12 large classrooms and 10 labs, including two state of the art computer labs with a full compliment of the modern equipment. This includes the latest electrical, instrumentation, local operating network and "voice-data-video" equipment … all of which is central to the experiments and troubleshooting exercises that make up typical classwork.

The training academy also has a library of the latest printed materials, along with educational information available via a variety of media … including films, videotapes, DVD's and computer generated graphics, for example. We also boast a 10 thousand square foot auditorium, available for student assemblies and large seminars. Together, it provides an excellent setting for the furtherance of the program's objectives.

The program itself is a national standardized training program, with course materials periodically reviewed, updated and revised by the National JATC for the Electrical Industry. Our goal is to ensure that all students keep up with the latest technology advances, ensuring their ability to meet long term career objectives!

College Credit   Local 164's electrical and telecommunications programs are recognized by the American Council on Education, and graduates earn college credit after completion! As of early 2004, electricians earn 47 semester hours of college credit recommendations from the ACE … telecommunications technicians ear 36 semester hours. Thereafter, students may further their education by transferring these credits into degree programs offered by two or four year institutions.
