Residential Electrician Standards Summary Introduction

We are pleased to present the second in a series of National Skill standards for the

residential construction industry. The goal of this project is to establish national

standards for the residential construction industry that reflect industry skill requirements.

The standards will provide a basis for the certification and training of workers and

provide employers with objective benchmarks for selecting employees and evaluating

training needs. In addition, educators will find the standards useful for designing

curriculum and evaluating an individual’s training outcomes.

These standards in and by themselves do not represent a model-training program. These

standards are designed to be a source for developing program and curriculum and

evaluating the outcomes of residential electrician training programs.

Residential Electrician standards have been developed and validated, and incorporate

Level I standards for semi-skilled electricians and Level II standards for skilled

electricians. Standards were developed and validated for 117 critical work functions and

9 specialty or duty areas. Critical work functions describe the major tasks and content

areas of work within each specialty. Key activities or major tasks and knowledge

involved in completing critical work functions are also provided.

Performance Indicators, which help determine when critical work functions and key

activities are being performed competently and meet NEC 2002 (National Electrical

Code) standards, are referenced to critical work functions where applicable. Specific

NEC references have been linked with critical work functions and key activities or tasks.

Page 2 of 52

In addition, applied academic skills required to perform key activities are provided.

These include measurement, arithmetic, layout, algebra, communications and materials

applied academic skills. Safety requirements involved in completing key activities have

also been identified. Tools required for performing key activities are also identified.

This report presents the nine specialty or duty areas as a series of two-page summaries.

The first page of each summary lists the critical work function and carpentry specialty or

specialties that performs the work function. Key activities are also cross-referenced by

page numbers, where applicable, to the NEC 2002 code and Delmar’s Electrical Wiring

Residential (14th edition, 2002) and Delmar’s Residential Construction Academy;

Electrical Principles. Please note that the Electrical Skill Standards are designed to

correlate to both the RCA: Electrical Principles text, as well as the RCA: House Wiring

text – which is due to publish Fall of 2003. An updated Electrical Skill Standards

Correlation Grid will be included on the e.resource to accompany the House Wiring text

at that time. Currently, instructors may reference Electrical Wiring Residential, 14th

edition for further information, as noted on the Grid.

Descriptions of the codes used on the first page of each standard are listed on the second

page of each summary. This format offers a concise presentation of the critical parts of

each standard. For more detailed information, the reader is encouraged to review the

complete report, Residential Electrician Standards, published by the Home Builders

Institute.
