Apprenticeship Programs
Apprentice programs are primarily for those people working in the following trades, Electrical, HVAC and
Plumbing. These programs deliver the related instruction, as regulated by the state of Idaho (Idaho Division
of Building Safety). Related instruction is delivered in the classroom, or through an online/hybrid format for
those people living/working in the rural locations within our region.
Apprenticeships are a method of learning where the trainee receives on-the-job training from their employer,
while studying the theories and specifics of their trade through related instruction provided by technical
colleges or schools. In Idaho, apprentices are required to have a minimum of 2,000 on-the-job training hours
and a minimum of 144 hours of related instruction per year. After completing four (4) years of training, the
apprentice can sit for the Idaho Journeyman’s exam. Upon passing the exam, the apprentice is licensed in
Idaho as a journeyman of their trade.
Apprenticeships
State of Washington students – Apprenticeship programs report related instruction hours and pass/fail
records to the Idaho Division of Building and Safety only. We do not report to Washington, as Idaho is the

related instruction for our Idaho students who also are holders of a Washington Basic card. We are
authorized providers for basic classroom instruction.

Electrical Online Classes – Electrical Apprentice, online classes are offered to meet the needs of students
