HITT Apprenticeship Programs
The apprenticeship programs at HITT combine in-class study along with field training and related book work. The program is delivered over 3 years combining single week in-class learning* (quaterly with HITT) in conjunction with field training (provided by apprentices's journeyman/mentor) and book work (self study). This program is designed to strengthen the apprentice's tactical skills in support of attaining strategic metering knowledge.
*In-Class Learning: electricity & metering safety awareness and training, electricity principles and mathematics, metering characteristics and vocabulary, single and three-phase transformer connections, customer relations, demand metering, field equipment and test instruments, phase angle measurements and calculations, vectoring principles, mathematics and calculations, instrument transformers, pulse metering, reactive metering, high voltage and substation metering, meter communications, totalizing metering, current diversion, and rates and tariffs.
To begin an Apprenticeship Course with HITT a pre-requisite assessment and interview are required.
Please contact us for details about these or any of our programs.
