Find a Sponsor and Employer to earn on-the-job training hours.
You can register as an apprentice and attend classroom instruction without having a sponsor or employer. However, to earn on-the-job hours toward your apprenticeship, you must have a sponsor and an employer (which may be the same company). You are encouraged to find a sponsor as soon as possible so you can learn from a qualified mentor and practice your skills. Most apprentices come to classroom instruction with on-the-job experience, so without this, you may find the classes challenging.
Full payment of tuition and fees is required upon registration. | | |

Total cost per year including tuition, fees, books, and supplies: $1014.84
