Apprenticeship vs. Craft Training
Return To Highlights

Formalized state and federal apprenticeship programs include a wage progression pay scale and documented On-the-Job Training (OJT) and related theoretical instruction. Programs are competency-based, and can be completed as students master each level.

The residential electrical program requires 4,000 hours of OJT and 288 hours of related instruction. Commercial & industrial electrical programs require 8,000 hours of OJT and 576 hours of related instruction.

Students can complete the related instruction for the residential electrical program in 16-months, or the related instruction for the commercial & industrial program in 31-months. Traditional apprenticeship programs require 4-years to complete related instruction. The related instruction for the advanced industrial program can be completed with an additional 8-months of training. Credit towards apprenticeship completion can be applied for previous related instruction or work experience.

All programs meet one night per week, with additional field trips, seminars, and training sessions as scheduled. Students who complete the apprenticeship program will receive their state and federal certificates of completion.

We highly recommend the apprenticeship program; however, some contractors may desire specific task training or custom craft training programs for their employees. We will work with you to make sure that your company's training objectives are being met.
