Program Overview
Lincoln College of Technology offers the Electrical and Electronic Systems Technology Diploma Program at its Grand Prairie, Texas campus, 2915 Alouette Drive. The program page lists 50 semester credit hours, 1,200 instructional hours and a completion time of approximately 52 weeks, including holidays and scheduled breaks, for day, afternoon and evening schedules. Hands-on instruction is on campus, with some courses delivered online, and Lincoln Tech uses animations and simulations for troubleshooting practice. The program code is ESTX100.
Curriculum Highlights
Program objectives include applying electrical theory; installing, maintaining and troubleshooting residential and commercial wiring; working from blueprints and schematics; installing security alarms, CCTV and fire alarm systems; setting up telecommunications, audio and video systems and structured cabling; working with smart home and building automation; and following OSHA and NFPA 70E safety standards. Lincoln Tech says the program prepares students for NCCER Core, Level 1 and Level 2 Electrical exams and OSHA 30. The course list mixes construction wiring with low-voltage, alarm and controls topics, so compare it with programs focused only on building wiring.
Admission Requirements
The campus catalog requires a high school diploma, a state-approved equivalency such as the GED, HiSET or TASC, or an associate degree or higher. Applicants complete the Learner Assessment, need reliable internet and a device that meets the school's system requirements, are interviewed by an admissions representative and sign an enrollment agreement. New students attend an orientation that finalizes paperwork, including financial aid documents. The Grand Prairie campus page says the campus does not currently accept applicants or enrollees who live in Oklahoma.
Cost & Financial Aid
The Grand Prairie schedule of fees for enrollments on or after July 1, 2026 lists $30,550 tuition, $774 books, $81 uniforms, $950 in student fees, a $150 technology fee and $2,135 in estimated tools, for a total of $34,640. The catalog says the school is an eligible institution for federal Direct Loans, Pell Grants, FSEOG and Federal Work-Study, and that financial aid is available to those who qualify; eligibility depends on the student.
Career Outcomes
Lincoln Tech says Grand Prairie graduates may pursue entry-level work in residential electrical installation, commercial and industrial wiring, security and alarm companies, HVAC control and energy management, cable and telecommunications, home automation, and entry-level residential electrician apprenticeships. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation's electrical apprentice training program list includes Lincoln College of Technology, program 174, at the Grand Prairie address.
