This is Thomas Estrada. I graduated 2013/2014 and I wanted to say thank you all very much. The opportunity to attend and the school and learn what we did was a great opportunity and I feel very grateful for it. When I received all my hours I applied for my license. Because of the school I was able to take the test and pass it on the first try with an 88%. For that I would like to let everyone with the school in the office, the instructors, and the board members Thank You Very much for everything. It has changed my family and I forever. Everything that you all do at the school is awesome and I hope you all truly understand how proud I am to attend the school and also tell everyone that asks about it to go and apply. Thank you for your time.

We have been members of IEC and affiliated with the Fort Worth Chapter since 1971. Our Fort Worth Chapter has always been one of the most outstanding in the national association and has many public awards and accolades to back that statement up. Before, as an employee of a member firm, and then since the beginning of our own company, H&As 37+ year involvement with IEC has given us innumerable advantages through training, mentoring, political representation both local/state and national as well as getting to know our friendly competitors and suppliers on a different level. We can definitely say IEC has been a very positive factor in our success and longevity, now into our second generation of family as well as other employees’ participation.

In my experience, IEC members implement the best risk management practices in the industry this has a direct impact on their claims experience and allows these electrical contractors to have lower insurance costs than their competition.
