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.
Based on NFPA 72-2022 (Sixth Edition)
The Fire Alarm 1 Course is based on the NFPA-72-2022 and is intended for qualified journeyman electricians and apprentices.

The Professional Electricians Program (PEP) consists of nine of the 15 proposed ESTS courses. PEP is an ideal choice for those who have an abundant amount of electrical experience but lack formal in-class training. With PEP, IEC aims to provide an alternative path for those with electrical experience to gain classroom knowledge without having to complete the entire four-year Electrical Apprenticeship Program.
Each of the PEP courses will be accompanied by an accelerated textbook and taught by an industry expert. The pace of these courses will be much faster than that of the IEC Apprentice Program based on the experience of the students.
Currently, the approved PEP courses are:

IEC’s New Worker program consists of 16 modules and is intended to prepare an apprentice for his or her first day on the job site. It is designed as a precursor—but it is not a prerequisite—to IEC’s four-year apprentice program.
Each module ranges from two to three hours in length and is focused on interactive learning. Module lessons include a short lecture accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation, and group and hands-on activities. The program is delivered digitally via IEC’s Content Management System (CMS) and students will receive a completion certificate for each module.

This course provides live, in-person training presented in six sessions over three consecutive days. Each session covers the four major divisions of the Project Life Cycle including Project Acquisition and Initiation, Project Planning, Project Execution and Project Completion and Close-out, with the objective of identifying hard and soft skills necessary to effectively manage projects, assess/evaluate current skill set to determine strengths and weaknesses and provide resources and activities that will challenge participants as they develop/improve necessary skills.
The Electric Vehicle Charging Systems (EVCS) Course includes an introduction to the basics of electric vehicle charging, proper selection, site review, interconnected load capabilities, wireless power electric vehicle transfer stations (WPEVTS), installation, network and control, operation and maintenance, and a proficiency test.
The electrical industry covers a wide range of electrical and communications systems, as well as a vast variance in voltages.
