Journeymen Courses


The New Orleans Electrical Joint Apprenticeship & Training Committee (NOEJATC) is presently offering the following Journeyman Skill Improvement Courses:

Tech Math
Classes are on-going and can be completed at your own pace at home if you have access to a computer or in our Training Center on Monday and Wednesday evenings.  There is a $115.00 registration fee for the Tech Math course which includes the cost of your textbook.

Significant Changes to the 2008 National Electrical Code
We will be offering this class again during the summer if we have fifteen (15) or more individuals signed up.  There are no registration fees for the Significant Changes to the 2008 National Electrical Code course; however you must have a 2008 Code Book.  2008 National Electrical Code books are $44.00 each and are available at the NOEJATC Office. 
You must contact the NOEJATC Office in advance to register for the Significant Changes to the 2008 National Electrical Code class.  Walk-in's will not be allowed.

Conduit Bending & Fabrication
Classes are scheduled to begin in early June 2008.  Classes will be held on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6:00 PM until 9:00 PM.  This is a 42 hour (14 class nights) course.  You must be in attendance for ALL class nights to receive a completion certificate.  There are no registration fees for the Conduit Fabrication course; however you must purchase a Conduit Bending & Conduit Fabrication Student Workbooks at a cost of $94.90.  Student Workbooks will be available at the NOEJATC Office the week prior to the start of classes.
You must contact the NOEJATC Office in advance to register for the Conduit Bending & Fabrication class.  Walk-in's will not be allowed.

If you are interested in any of the Journeyman Skill Improvement courses listed below you should contact the NOEJATC Office by telephone at (504) 835-9899 or email to register.  Please include your name, address information and IBEW card number.


   AC Theory - Explores the application of DC theory, three-phase systems and circuit calculations for basic systems and understanding the design and function of DC and AC generators.  Introduces series and parallel inductive reactance, capacitance and capacitive reactance.  Topics covered, include the theory and the mathematical equations and the associated step-by-step problem solving that play an essential role in understanding the basics from the difference between DC and AC, through inductive and capacitive reactance, impedance, filters and power factor correction. Comprehend the parameters of series RL, RC, LC, RLC circuits, Parallel RL, RC, RLC circuits.  Also series and parallel resonance, filters, and power factor.  (Available as a self-paced computer based training course.)

   Applied Codeology - A systematic "how to" guide on              reading, interpreting and understanding the National Electrical Code.  Develops code book skills by getting students orientated with the NEC and its language.  Develops skills to apply the NEC's Plan, Build, Use, and Special chapters.

   Blueprint Reading - Covers the necessary skills required to interpret and follow blueprint designs.  Recognizes common scales used on blueprints, understanding and drawing the electrical and mechanical symbols commonly used on blueprints.  Also covers understanding various applications of residential, commercial and industrial blueprints.

   Code Calculations - Familiarize students with the necessary skills to perform calculations in various electrical fundamentals and ensure that they are in compliance with the National Electrical Code.

   Conduit Bending - Teaches the concepts of conduit bending and fabrication, including but not limited to stubs, offsets, three and four way saddles, segment bending, and concentric bending.

   DC Theory - Explores direct current principals and methods.  Teaches the fundamentals of electricity and DC circuits.  In-depth coverage of Ohm's law, voltage, current, resistance and power.  Examine DC parallel circuits, DC combination circuits, magnetism and generators, and DC circuit analysis tools.  (Available as a self-paced computer based training course.)


 

 Digital Electronic - Designed to lead students through the theory and applications of basic and advanced digital control circuits used throughout the electrical industry. This course works through subject areas such as digital logic gates, numeric displays & keyboards, asynchronous & synchronous memories & Shift registers, and Digital/Analog converters.  (Available as a self-paced computer based training course.)

   Instrumentation/Process Control - Teaches instrumentation terms and symbols, industrial measurements and control, pressure, flow, level and temperature.  Instruction in calibration and calibration, including proper documentation.  Teaches bench calibration and configuration of analog, digital and smart instruments.  Also fundamentals of automated process control, control valves, control valve maintenance, analytical instrumentation, and instrument installation and tubing techniques.

   Journeyman Preparation - Preparation for the City of New Orleans Class "D" Journeyman License Examination.  (Available online.)

   Motor Controls - Explores motor controls and control relays.  Teaches manual and automatic operating devices, control diagrams and drawings, timed devices, DC and AC speed controllers.  Also covers installation, maintenance and troubleshooting techniques.

   Programmable Logic Controllers - Examine the system components in a SLC 500 modular system and the AB SLC 500 family of PLCs.  Explore programmable controller fundamentals and system installation as well as programming RSLogix software.  Will learn to perform advanced ladder programming and data manipulation.  Introduction to PLC timers, counters, shift registers and sequencers.

   Significant Changes to the NEC - To assist and enhance the understanding of changes in the National Electrical Code.

   Tech Math -  The technical math course is a math review. It is not a study of electrical theory nor any specific topic covered in apprenticeship, and is in addition to the minimum classroom hours required for apprenticeship. Tech Math is designed to refresh math skills and to prepare the Journeyman or apprentice for the study of electrical theory, conduit fabrication, code calculations and other job skills.  (Available online or as a self-paced computer based training course.)
