CALCTP is a new program operated by representatives of the CA Lighting Technology Center, CA Energy Commission, CA Community College system, public utilities, electrical contractors, electrical workers, and manufacturers of advanced, high efficiency lighting and control systems.

 CALCTP will educate, train, and certify electrical contractors and electricians in the best prctices and most effective techniques to install, tune, commission, and maintain advanced lighting control systems.

 In support of CALCTP, several LCA (Lighting Controls Association)Education Express online courses are now required as prerequsites before receiving live training by CALCTP. These include EE 101: Intrtoduction to Lighting Control, EE 102: Switching Control, EE 103: Fluorescent Dimming and EE 201: Daylight Harvesting. Students may take these courses at any time, at their own pace, from anywhere, and for free; only a short registration is required.

 The live training is a 32 - 40 hour hands on lab being offered, at this time, at the Sacramento and San Mateo JATC's. If you are interested in getting certified in this special skill visit "Education Express"(see below) web site and sign up for the on line course(s). After completion of the prerequsites you decide to continue with the live training, contact Steve Stobel and he will help get you registered with either of the two JATC's that are offering our members seats in their classes.
