Class Size Matters
Experience has shown that smaller class sizes lead to improved student achievement and outcomes (test scores significantly higher on standardized tests than students in larger classes, especially for disadvantaged students). This is because instructors can provide more individualized attention and create a more positive learning environment for students vs. larger classes.

More Field Time
Lineman Schools in California offering 15 week programs typically start with 4.5 hours of academics each day. That leaves only 2-3 hours a day (after lunch and breaks) for hands-on skills training, which usually concludes during week 12 of a 15 week program. At American Lineman College, we’ve taken a different approach, mirroring the way utility and construction companies train their apprentices and groundmen. You’ll complete your academic courses online, just like in a formalized apprenticeship. This allows for more time in the field, where you’ll be immersed in a simulated work environment that mimics the actual working hours of lineworkers. This immersive hands-on training will provide you with more practical experience than any other pre-apprentice program in California.
