Electrician Low Voltage Fire/Security

Why Choose the Electrician Low Voltage Fire/Security Program?


The demand for fire alarms, burglar alarms, card access and closed-circuit television have always been high, therefore, the demand for electricians that specialize in that field is also high. With advancing technologies, there's always a new innovation in security ready to be installed and programmed. Students in our Electrician Low Voltage Fire/Security Program participate in hands-on training with advanced equipment, techniques and programming to prepare for careers as alarm-system installers and service technicians.

This program is approved as a Limited Energy (06) specialty electrical training program in the state of Washington. Students who meet criteria established by the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries MAY be credited with up to 1,815 hours. The actual amount of hours awarded is at the discretion of L&I, and will vary based upon a number of factors, including the types of coursework taken and concurrent possession of a valid trainee card. Please consult with program staff prior to enrolling in any classes.

If you enjoy working with electronics and have a passion for safety and security, this may be the program and career path for you.
