Tower Technician

Next-Generation Wireless Networks

The cell tower industry needs qualified technicians armed with comprehensive training capable of deploying next-generation Wireless Networks.

VA Education Benefits Eligible

Our VA Education Benefits Eligible Tower Technician Level One (CEL100) course gives you a challenging two-week, 88-hour learning experience. In addition to traditional classroom training, you will participate in multiple field exercises and other hands-on training scenarios. This includes practicing on our new monopole mounted in our Utilities Training Hangar (see photo on right).

There are numerous funding options available for training.

Physically Challenging Training

Participants will be required to safety operate machinery and conduct field exercises at a height of over 100 feet while carrying approximately 70 lbs. of tools and equipment. In order to successfully complete these exercises, participants must be aware of any medical and/or physical limitations that might prevent them from participating in such activities.

Warriors 4 Wireless (W4W) Partnership

TEEX has partnered with Warriors 4 Wireless (W4W) to train veterans on the installation of the rapidly expanding 5G wireless network. W4W is a charitable organization existing solely to help veterans find decent paying careers in the growing 5G wireless workforce.  It has invested well over $1 million of contributed funds to lower veteran expenses while they train to join this promising career field. W4W has connected more than 2,700 veterans to wireless career opportunities and it stands ready to help you.

Our Tower Technician Participants Are Saying:

“I have attended many courses in my professional career and Matt Winebarger has, by far, been the best instructor. He has the ability to break down the knowledge like no other instructor can. His attention to detail and focus on ensuring the student learns correctly is above reproach.” (Raymond Troxell, Tower Technician Class, February 23 – March 10, 2023)
