Well, the classes im in right now are classes like electrical theory, wiring techniques, etc etc.. just general basic electrical classes. I will be taking the climbing class next semester which includes climbing and diffrent jobs on the pole. that class will provide me with a certificate, then from there I can go and apply for an apprenticeship at a utilty or wherever else..
Good Luck Sergio. Seriously man.
When you graduate...You will have the "Basics" of the Line Trade.
I can't really associate with what you're goin thru right now, but certainly admire you for wanting to be a Lineman, and going to this School.
The trade has Changed SO much since I started in it, in 1968 as a grunt...in a muni.
The best of Luck to you Sergio! When you're learnin to climb...Keep your A$$ OUT from the pole man!
Good luck man!

But it's much more profitable to "train" people these days by luring them in with the promise that they might get a job after you've "trained" them.
Sadly with a bit of self promotion the "schools" will manage to convince the lesser management individuals that they should only employ pre-trained individuals and the traditional apprenticeship will gradually fade away.
Portable defibrillators were first invented to save the lives of linemen. Where's yours?
