Illustrative recommendation. Admissions confirms availability, prerequisites, and state-specific pathways.
Program bench / 02
Four ways into work that matters.
Every pathway pairs technical fundamentals with supervised practice, safety clearances, and career-readiness support.
Power
Electrical Technology
Wiring, motors, conduit, controls, code fundamentals, and troubleshooting.
AAS / Day + eveningAutomation
Industrial Systems
PLCs, sensors, motor controls, drives, and preventive maintenance.
Certificate / EveningFacilities
Building Technologies
HVAC service, low voltage, energy controls, and jobsite coordination.
Diploma / Day
The proving ground / 03
A campus that works like a jobsite.
Training bays put recognizable equipment in reach: welding booths, conduit walls, three-phase motor trainers, PLC racks, and building-control systems.
Lab accessMon-Fri / 7 AM-9 PMSaturday / 8 AM-4 PM
Practice blocks require current PPE and equipment-specific safety clearance.
From bench to field / 04
Skill is built in hours, not slogans.

Illustrative demo figures. Ironline does not guarantee employment, certification, licensing, or earnings.
Controls + diagnostics
The trades do not stand still. Neither should your training.
Low-voltage networks, connected controls, and data-driven maintenance now sit beside the torch and meter. Ironline brings both sides of the work onto one floor.
