Florida Electrical Apprenticeship and Training (FEAT)

The Florida Electrical Apprenticeship and Training program is a structured method of training persons to become skilled electricians. Apprenticeship is a two-part program. One part of the training is working for an electrical contractor, where the student gain hands-on knowledge to be able to perform the tasks required. The other part of the training is the classroom instruction that teaches the technical aspects of the trade.

The FEAT Program is registered with the Florida Department of Labor and Employment Security. If a student has received partial credit from another Registered Apprenticeship Program, he or she will be credited with work hours already earned and placed in school at an advanced level.
OurApprentices require seven semesters of theory training and 8000 hours (4 years) of on-the-job training. Classes are held two nights each week from 6:30 to 9:30 P.M. Apprentices attend two semesters of classroom training each year.
Students interested in becoming an apprentice would need to talk to their employer and determine if they participate in the FEAT apprenticeship program. When an employer agrees to sponsor a student in Apprenticeship, they are responsible for the semester tuition payment. New apprentices may apply to start the program in August or January of each year. The minimum age to enter the program is 18. There is no maximum age.
