General Information:
 |
Apprenticeship programs are composed of two parts:
- On-the-job training provided by a sponsor who exposes the apprentice to practical applications in all phases of a particular craft
- Classroom-related instruction designed to provide the apprentice with knowledge of theoretical and technical aspects of their craft
Total completion of an apprenticeship program will take up to four years, depending upon the craft. MATC provides classroom-related and supplemental instruction for apprenticeship programs.
MATC neither provides on-the-job training nor acts as a sponsor for apprentices. Individuals must locate their own sponsors. For individual industry-sponsored programs, a student should contact their employer’s training director or the MATC Apprenticeship Office.

| Attendance: |
An apprentice must attend 72 hours of the possible 81 hours each semester. This 90% attendance standard has been established by the Office of Apprenticeship, Industry Employers, and Labor Services.

A maximum of three (3) work-related absences (nine hours) per semester will be excused. Your only excused absences are work-related absences. To be excused for work-related absences, you must submit a letter on company letterhead signed by your immediate supervisor. The letter must be presented to the instructor before the end of the week that class was missed. |
| Grading Policy: |
There are two possible grades for MATC apprenticeship courses:

Credit (CR): A credit (CR) grade is equivalent to a minimum of a “B” grade. To receive a credit grade for an apprenticeship course, students must:
- Maintain 90% attendance.
- Attend 81 hours of each 90 hour course.
- Complete all coursework within the designated time.
- Score 80% on all written assignments, quizzes, and tests.
- Complete all lab projects to instructor and blueprint specifications.

| 2. |
Incomplete (I): Failure to meet any of the criteria listed above. Apprentices that receive an incomplete grade must retake the course at their own expense. |
|
| Final Exam: |
You will receive a comprehensive final examination at the end of the course. This will cover all the material covered in the course and may include material covered in previous courses. You must score a minimum of 75% on all tests, quizzes, assignments, lab projects, etc. and the final exam to receive credit and to pass the course. Before sitting for the final exam you must complete all class assignments and quizzes and turn them in to the instructor. |
| Competency: |
You will receive a competency test at the end of each semester. This test will be separate from your final test and grade, but completion of this test with a passing score will be required to move on to the next semester. If you do not pass the competency test, you will be given one other opportunity to retest.
The competency test will be administered by the Testing Center towards the end of the semester. If you do not take the test or fail it twice you will be required to repeat the appropriate semester. |
