What This Class Is About

Low-voltage is one of the fastest-growing corners of the trades — data, security cameras, access control, AV, and alarm systems all run on it. And here's the part people miss: you don't have to be a licensed electrician to work low-voltage, which makes it one of the best ways to break in.

This class covers the fundamentals and gets your hands on the wire — how low-voltage systems go together, how to run and secure cable safely, and how to do it to code.

Who This Is For

Career changers who want a real trade — without going back to college
New or "green" techs who need skills employers ask for
Anyone wanting into security, AV, or data without an electrician's license
Anyone who'll show up, follow a process, and work with their hands

No experience required. No electrician's license needed to start.

What You'll Learn

What "low-voltage" actually covers, and where it's used
Wiring methods and cable types for LV systems
Device rough-in and mounting
Running and securing cable safely
Code-aware practices and the common mistakes to avoid
Testing and basic troubleshooting
Labeling and documentation
Job-site safety and professional conduct

This Isn't a Slideshow Class

You'll work with real cable, devices, and test gear — not just diagrams. Low-voltage is a feel-it-with-your-hands trade, so that's how we teach it, in small groups.

Where It Can Lead

Low-voltage opens doors across security, AV, access control, and data — installer and field-tech roles with the integrators and contractors working throughout the DMV.

We'll help you build the skills and a resume that shows them. We don't promise a job or a salary, and we won't pretend otherwise. This is a trade you earn.
