Award-Winning IBEW - International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Courses & Classes in Naperville, IL

For individuals who want to join the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) electrical apprenticeship programs, the aptitude test and interview is an important step. The IBEW aptitude test covers math and mechanical information, as well as reading. Starting an IBEW prep course from Varsity Tutors and getting some study time one-on-one with a tutor, who knows the material that the aptitude test and interview will include, can help you to feel more confident when you take the exam. An IBEW prep class will be heavy on mathematical concepts because the work electrical engineers do is very math-oriented. It will also contain reading questions as well, which are meant to assess your comprehension levels.

If you begin IBEW prep classes, you'll have a leg up on others who have chosen to study for the exam and interview on their own. A tutor can help you to evaluate the topics you need the most help with, design a specific program to help you better understand complicated topics, and also teach time management skills, because there is a limit on the amount of time for each section. The tables below explain what you can expect to see, in terms of the number of questions per section and the amount of time you'll have to complete each of them.
