ON-THE-JOB TRAINING
This is a performance based apprenticeship program premised on competencies demonstrated in lieu of time considerations. The apprenticeship is composed of sixteen sets of competencies called Units. The time permitted to succeed at any given unit is six months. The Apprentice, at their discretion, may test out of the Units at a pace faster than the scheduled pace. To complete and be certified in a Unit, the apprentice must succeed at the validated competency tests designed for that set of objectives and complete the on the job training.
