The electrician apprenticeship consists of five years of not less than 8,400 hours in which a minimum of four years and 576 hours is spent in paid-related classroom instruction and 200 hours of unpaid-related instruction.

The apprentice must complete satisfactorily 200 hours of unpaid school hours, as prescribed by the ABC of WI Apprenticeship Advisory Committee.

Electricians require a moderate level of physical strength. They must frequently stand for long periods and work in cramped or uncomfortable positions. Since much of their work is indoors, electricians are less exposed to inclement weather than most other construction workers. They will need to have good color vision.

Electricians usually provide their own tools, including screwdrivers, pliers, knives and sawzall. Employers generally provide heavier tools, such as pipe threaders, conduit benders, and most test meters and power tools.
