APPRENTICE TRAINING (APT) (HEGIS 5301)
This program is designed in cooperation with local branches of trade unions and certifying organizations. It provides an opportunity to earn the Associate degree while working as an apprentice. While engaged in technical studies and obtaining on-the-job experience in the skilled trades, students in this program will complete 24 to 26 college credits (about 8 courses) at Dutchess Community College. The apprentices normally attend the College as part-time students.
Apprentices are granted 40 credits for the related technical instruction and on-the-job training completed during the apprentice period. Students should check with their union regarding membership before enrolling in this program. Completion of the following suggested program will result in the student receiving an Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree at the same time he/she receives the New York State Certificate of Completion of the Apprentice Program.
Students should select courses in consultation with an advisor.
