Online Training for Apprentices
Did you know that apprenticeship technical training is available online in some trades?
Apprenticeship is a form of post-secondary education for both young and mature individuals who want to be certified to work in a skilled trade.
An apprenticeship program can take two to four years to complete through a combination of theoretical and hands-on learning, both in class/online (15%) and on-the-job (85%). Unlike college and university students, apprentices start earning money in their chosen field right away and most have little or no educational debt after they have completed their program.
