Typically, 8085% of an apprenticeship is work-based training; the rest is technical training in the classroom and/or shop. Most welding apprenticeships take three years. Before apprentices can earn a certicate or ticket, they must complete both work-based training and technical training, including examinations. After working as apprentices for the period specied by the ITA, graduates can write the Interprovincial Standards Examination. Apprentices who want to schedule their technical training at CNC should contact CNCs Trades Division at 250-561-5804 or 1-866-370-2111. Apprentices and employers must register apprenticeships with the ITA. For application forms or more information, call 1-866-660-6011 or visit www.itabc.ca. You might also be interested in . . .
