Because home systems have become increasingly complex, technicians need to seek out postsecondary instruction from technical schools or community colleges that offer programs in skilled trades, such as electrical, heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration. These programs generally last from 6 months to 2 years and lead to a certificate or an associate's degree. Most states further require electricians to pass a test and be licensed before they may work independently. Requirements vary by state. For more information, contact your local or state licensing board.
