Welcome to American Lineman College (ALC), an educational institution where unparalleled expertise and a deep-rooted passion for lineworker education converge. Founded by industry veteran Michael Hennesey, one of the esteemed honorary founders of Northwest Lineman College, ALC is grounded in a legacy of excellence and innovation. At American Lineman College, we’ve consulted and collaborated with m

ajor utilities and construction companies across the nation to design a program that is more aligned with the industry needs. As a result, ALC has taken a different approach to the traditional pre-apprenticeship training model by mirroring the way utility and construction companies train their apprentices and groundmen. This allows for more time in the field, where you’ll be immersed in a simulated work environment that mimics the actual work, rigors and hours lineworkers work. This immersive hands-on training will provide you with more practical experience than any other pre-apprentice program in California. ALC is dedicated to nurturing the core knowledge, skills, and professionalism that students need to thrive in the power industry. Our comprehensive training programs go beyond climbing pre-apprentice instruction to encompass essential groundman skills, ensuring that graduates become safe and productive members of any line crew. Don’t let debt and indecision dim your future, join us at ALC and start building a career that
brightens your world.
