What is the career path and training like for an aerial lineman?
2025-08-08The journey to becoming a professional aerial lineman typically involves a combination of formal education and on-the-job training. Most linemen start with a high school diploma or equivalent, followed by a trade school or apprenticeship program. These programs cover crucial skills in electrical theory, climbing techniques, and safety procedures.
