History

Established in 2003.

I-​TAP was founded by Nutter Electric Inc, a family owned, large, and successful commercial electrical contractor that has been in the Sacramento Region since 1970. In 2000, Norm Nutter founded the school, in response to the need to develop quality commercial electricians within the local electrical community to further develop training opportunities for the professionals in this field.

Since 2003, I-​TAP has trained and boasted over a 90% passing rate for the State Exam — a very distinct and unique success that other schools cannot come close to.

We believe the small classrooms and the highly qualified staff with a focus on teaching HOW to use the code book (instead of the memorizing approach) is what sets us off as one of the greatest instructional programs in all of California. Many students travel from 2 – 3 hours away per day just for the opportunity to be trained by TAP!

Come visit us-​anytime, any work day, & get a candid tour of the school to see what all the attention is about!
