Lineman school in Oklahoma

9 lineman programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

7 schools offer these lineman programs, and Oklahoma has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.

Electrical power-line installers and repairers put up and repair the cables and wires that carry electricity, and may erect poles and transmission towers. Most start with a high school diploma and learn in an apprenticeship or employer training program of up to three years; some community colleges offer one-year certificates and two-year degrees.1

In Oklahoma, 4 of the 9 programs take students without a high school diploma, 4 ask for a diploma or equivalent and 1 asks for earlier courses first.

By kind, the 9 programs here are lineworker certificate or course (4 programs), lineworker (associate degree, 1 program), communications lineworker or fiber optic course (1 program), substation or utility technician (associate degree, 1 program), and 2 more of 2 other kinds.

Source: US Department of Labor, program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Only programs approved for workforce funding are listed; other schools in Oklahoma may also offer lineman school. How these figures are made

The year of these Oklahoma figures is uncertain. Oklahoma has not sent its program year 2024 data to the federal site, so check with the school and an American Job Center that the program is still approved and the funding terms still apply. We will update this page when that data is out. More on this

How to pay for lineman school in Oklahoma

WIOA funding can pay for lineman school in Oklahoma

Every program on this page is approved for it. Whether you qualify, how much your local area pays and how to apply are on our page Does WIOA pay for job training?

Financial aid and grants for lineman school

Most students can get federal student aid for college, career school or trade school. A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, usually doesn't have to be repaid. Ask the school whether its program qualifies.67

GI Bill for lineman school

Veterans, service members and qualified dependents can use GI Bill benefits for non-college training programs.8

The program list does not show which programs accept these. Ask the school.

Where the Oklahoma lineman program numbers come from

Which Oklahoma lineman programs are on this list?

These are the lineman programs Oklahoma approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Oklahoma offers.

How the prices and results of Oklahoma lineman programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.

How reliable are the Oklahoma figures?

The US Department of Labor's own results site says Oklahoma has not yet sent its data for program year 2024.10 So we cannot say which year these figures describe; they may be older. Before you enroll, check with the school and your local American Job Center that the program is still approved and that the funding terms still apply. We will update these pages when the federal site publishes the 2024 data for Oklahoma. We leave out the share working 6 months later for Oklahoma: far more of its programs report exactly 100% than in other states.
