Mechanical and Electrical Specialization

Ropeway Technician students can specialize in two areas: mechanical or electrical. Both specialties include hands-on work experience at the student's workplace supervised by a work-place mentor.

Credit or Non-Credit Options

When completed for credit, the program provides the student with a Certificate of Occupational Proficiency from the State of Colorado. Students can also take the program as non-credit. This option provides Continuing Education Credits (CEUs) that are valuable for training documentation. Students who complete the program as non-credit will receive a certificate of completion from Colorado Mountain College. Either option meets the requirements for Related Instruction needed for completion of the U.S. Department of Labor's Apprenticeship Training program.
