Can you believe that the cost to become an electrician is very reasonable? You should be able to become a licensed electrician without incurring much debt if any. Here’s why: 1. Electrician apprentices earn while they learn. 2. Tuition is nominal compared to a 4-year college degree. 3. Employers may pay for your school tuition. 4. Scholarships are available for some apprentices. Many apprentices with IBEW are awarded scholarships or have their tuition paid for by “the Labor/Management relationship between the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and the National Electrical Contractors Association”. source Finding employers that are willing to pay part or all of your school tuition is doable. They are out there. Ask around. The cost of books varies by year. Try to find used books online or from prior apprentices. Tool costs can add up. The good news is that you won’t need every tool all at once. Start small and work gradually to build up your collection. Birthdays and Christmas are a good opportunity to add tools to your belt.
