My boyfriend wants to go to trade school to become an electrician, but I have a couple questions. In California, how long does it take? & will my boyfriend still be able to work and go to school, or is it extremely time consuming like beauty school? Also, do you need a high school diploma? & how does the process of becoming an electrician actually work?
Also, is there any kind of financial aid for trade school?

I dunno if this will help…
But I’m a 2nd year apprentice electrician in Australia.
The government here gives us $1000 each year just to be an apprentice. It takes 4 years until you are fully qualified. We also have the option to go to a technical college. In are final 2 years of high school, Year 11 and Year 12, over here, we could do part time work/school. So 1 day trade school, 2 days high school, 2 days work. So instead of 4 years, the apprenticeship takes 5 because the 1st year is part time for 2 years. Here you only need Year 10 pass but it depends on the employer.
