The number one resource for Electricians in our opinion is Electrician U. We sit down with Dustin Stelzer and talk everything electrical. The idea of Electrician U was born from a lack of availability of quality educational material, for electricians, on the web. There are tons of people teaching code classes, but nobody teaching electrical work, from the field. We sit and watch many traditional trade schools takes peoples money and not give any true value to the students, so something was needed to get education out to the people in need, without ripping them off. Electrician U was founded by Dustin Stelzer, a Master Electrician in Austin, Texas who still works out in the field today. He created Electrician U in 2016 by making training videos on YouTube and Instagram, so anyone out there who sought deeper knowledge of the craft had access to it. Teaching from the field has always been Dustin’s passion and to this day he enjoys teaching apprentices and journeyman the same way he learned, with a pair
