No. That would be for an associate degree in drafting technology. How were you in high school calculus and trigonometry? How about English too?

[john_opwin]

I agree with Bill Kibbel about the associate degree.

[plummen]

Best way i know to learn about electrical stuff is an apprentiship,yeah I know my spelling sucks also! [:-slaphap

[john_opwin]

During apprentiship you are exposed and learn a lot from expereinced persons

[resqman]

From what I have seen of people pulling wires in the field, you may learn something from people in the field, but I am not sure if it is what you want to know.

Check with local community college or technical college. They often have programs for the trades. You would learn the correct way to do things and would likely have to become familar with the electrical code. A much better system than relying on a fella who is only passing along what he learned from the guy who has been at 6 month longer.

I've taken a lot of schooling in my time and I've got over 2 decades of work experience in several trades. They're both important.

Agreed. The IBEW apprenticeship program is excellent. There should be something like it for home inspectors.
