Hi everyone and welcome to The Electricians Learning Center of Orange County New York. My name is Gary Scotto, your Instructor and President.

This is the first step in your career to becoming an Electrician. Remember knowledge is power and trade knowledge is high voltage. Be far ahead of your soon-to-be co-workers. After our 6 month+ course you will have the knowledge of a first year apprentice. When you sit down for a job interview and say, "I can wire a single pole, 2 pole, 3 way and 4 way switch" and you are able to explain and draw it out, but most importantly, understand what you are talking about, you are far more likely to be hired.

I tell all my students that when I take and pay for a course, I am not leaving the room until I understand what was taught and I want you to be the same way. Do not think for a second you cannot do this because you can. As you progress through the course, you will get overwhelmed, and I am doing it to you on purpose, trust me. It is nothing you will not be able to handle and you will learn to disregard any lingering doubt and move forward.

I have been in the trade for over 40 years now and I love my job. It has its moments, but so does everything else and I would not change it for anything. The Trade has allowed me to take care of my family for many years and I live very comfortably. It is just like everything else, you get out of it what you put into it. I have siblings who went to college and that is wonderful, but it was not for me and it is not for everybody just like the trade.

So come in, sit down, and talk.
