Electrician course programme One education – several options The electrician course programme challenges all appren- tices enrolled with the programme according to their wishes and abilities. For this reason, the electrician course programme compri- ses several tracks: 1. A 4-year electrician course programme 2. A 4½-year electrician course programme 3. A 5-year EUX electrician course programme 4. An electrician course programme for young people with an upper secondary school diploma 5. An electrician course programme for 25+ years adults The electrician course programme is a vocational program- me combining college instructions and hands-on training. The programme comprises a 20-week Basic Course, the common part of the 21-week Main Course, 4-5 modules of 4 weeks each, hands-on training and an apprentice exam. College periods consume 60-65 weeks and most of the course is hands-on training in a host company. When concluding a training contract, the apprentice and the host company decide on the modules to be taken by the apprentice. • With 4 modules the programme lasts 4 years. • With 5 modules the programme lasts 4½ years. Basic Course 1 (GF1) The GF1 and the specialized GF+ Basic Courses are not relevant for host companies since the students in these two preparatory and clarifying programmes have no training contract yet at this stage. For apprentices with a training contract or students who have completed minimum one year of an upper secondary course programme, the first step of this programme will be the GF2 Basic Course. The same applies to students who passed their year 9 or 10 exams more than 2 years ago.
