How To Register
You may register at the Electrical Training Institute or you may print a registration form by clicking HERE and register by mail. The required deposit is due at the time of registration, whether you register by mail or on site at ETI.

Pre-registration is required for all classes. Classes depend on room availability and on student registrations. When there are sufficient sign-ups in a class, you will receive a confirmation letter one week prior to the start of the class. If sign-ups are insufficient to fill up, we will keep the registration period open.

Fees
The deposits reflect the cost of books required for the class. This has become necessary because of the amount of students collecting books and dropping out of classes within the first 2 or 3 weeks. All classes have 80% attendance requirement for completion. ALL DEPOSITS will be refunded upon successful completion of the class.

Refer to the class schedule to look up the fee(s) for the class(es) you would like to register for. Deposits may be check, money order or cashier's check. NO CASH. Make checks payable to ELECTRICAL TRAINING INSTITUTE.
