Journeymen Courses


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

George Meany National Labor College
The George Meany National Labor College (NLC) is offering a Bachelor of Technical/Professional Studies degreed distance learning program (120 credits) for our members who have a high school diploma or a GED. The sixty college credit hours awarded to those journeyman who have completed our apprenticeship program can be applied towards your degree. In addition you may also apply any additional college credit hours you may have earned through a two or four year university. The NLC also awards credits for life skills, military training, service internships, etc. The NLC required general education courses (English, Humanities, Math, Science and Social Studies) are taken on-line. For additional information you may visit the NLC’s web site, www.georgemeany.org , the New Orleans Electrical JATC web site, www.noejatc.org or contact the NOEJATC Office at 504-835-9899. The George Meany National Labor College is a union college staffed by union members for union members. Don’t miss out on this opportunity for IBEW members to conveniently further their education.

Conduit Bending & Fabrication
Classes are scheduled to begin in the Summer 2009.  Classes will be held on Monday and Thursday evenings at the Training Center from 6:00 PM until 9:00 PM.  This is a 36 hour (12 class nights) course.  You must be in attendance for ALL class nights to receive a completion certificate.  There is no registration fee for the Conduit Fabrication course; however you must purchase a Conduit Bending & Conduit Fabrication Student Workbook at a cost of $50.00.  You must register with the NOEJATC Office and purchase your student workbook in advance to participate.

Instrumentation & Process Control
Classes are scheduled to begin in the Fall 2009.  Classes will be held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at the Training Center from 6:00 PM until 9:00 PM.  This is a 60 hour (20 class nights) course.  You must be in attendance for ALL class nights to receive a completion certificate and be eligible for Level 1, Level II Certification.  There is no registration fee for the Instrumentation & Process Control course.  You must register with the NOEJATC Office and purchase your student workbook in advance to participate.

Photovoltaic Systems
Classes are scheduled to begin in the Spring 2009.  Classes will be held on Monday and Wednesday evenings at the Training Center from 6:00 PM until 9:00 PM.  This is a 45 hour (15 class nights) course.  You must be in attendance for ALL class nights to receive a completion certificate.  There is no registration fee for the Photovoltaic Systems Control course.  You must register with the NOEJATC Office and purchase your student workbook in advance to participate.

Tech Math
Classes are on-going and can be completed at your own pace at home if you have a computer and internet access.  There is a $115.00 registration fee for the on-line Tech Math course which includes the cost of your textbook.

If you are interested in any of the Journeyman Skill Improvement courses listed you should contact the NOEJATC Office at telephone (504) 835-9899 or email to register.  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.

   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.)
