Terms of the Apprenticeship:
 The period of apprenticeship is six
thousand (6000) hours. The apprenticeship may be less than 6,000 hours if the
apprentice has prior experience worked as a boilermaker or has qualifications
as a certified welder. Credit hours are granted based on hours worked as a
field construction boilermaker, submitted by the applicant along with skill
performance evaluations.
The self-study
program and minimum of five hundred and seventy-six (576) hours of classroom training must be completed before
graduating, regardless of the on-the-job
hours accumulated or credit hours granted.
Probationary Period:
All
apprentices are subject to a probationary period determined by the Area Joint
Committee, normally six months. During the probationary period, apprentices
will be evaluated on willingness to accept work assignments, performance on
the job and in the class-room, attendance, punctuality, and writing and
submission of work reports and related studies.
After the probationary
period, apprentices are required to maintain the high standards set by the
National and Area Apprenticeship program.
