After four years of hands-on and formal classroom training, 15 students received certificates showing that they completed the NEPPA Apprentice Lineworker Program.

NEPPA adheres to the four-year curriculum of the Northwest Lineman College’s Lineworker Certification Program. Students attend class four times a year for four days each and participate in an additional two-day Skills Assessment Rodeo each year, designed to showcase the apprentices’ developing technical and climbing skills and reinforce the program’s focus on professionalism, safety and proper technique.

Trainers David Fabrizius and Steve Socoby taught the class, which was held at NEPPA's Pascoag, R.I., training center.
