Tabbert CALCTP (California Advanced Lighting Control Training Program) TECHNICAL COURSE

PRE-REQUISITE: Because the lecture and lab work moves along at a challenging pace, all participants must be equally prepared prior to enrollment. The prerequisite studies are on the Lighting Controls Association website - modules EE101, EE102, EE103, and EE201 (Approximately 12 hours). These courses can be found at http://aboutlightingcontrols.org/ Education_Express/welcome.php. For enrollment in CALCTP, applicants must present the certificates of completion for online study to the Training Center prior to enrollment in the CALCTP course.

This course is divided into modules consisting of both lecture and lab activities. The module content is organized to answer the following questions about lighting controls: what they are, what they do, where they are used, and how they are installed. Each lecture contains one or more interactive components, including group discussions, device demonstrations and/or calculation exercises. The corresponding lab period, following the lecture, allows the attendee to directly apply what has been learned by installing the devices on specially-designed lab boards, under the supervision of the CALCTP-certified instructor(s). The course consists of the online prerequisites, lecture and a final exam. Take the free online courses and become a CALCTP Certified Electrician!
