 AGE & EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS

You must be at least age 18 to start in the Apprentice Training Program and there is no age limit. You must have a high school education or equivalent. 

A strong work ethic and desire to excel will always provide you with an advantage. Apprenticeship is both an ancient tradition and a highly effective modern training method, proving to still be the best system for trades training.
