The Electrical and Systems Training Series (ESTS) consists of courses designed for non-apprentice electricians and serves as a source of refresher courses for experienced electricians. Various educational levels are offered for each 40-hour course, and an individual does not have to complete every ESTS course offering. Prerequisites may be required for some ESTS courses in order to complete a module.
Current course offerings include the following:
