GMCA provides formal apprenticeship training programs that are registered with the United States Department of Labor, Office of Apprenticeship (OA). These programs meet all federal and state requirements for formal classroom instruction. Apprenticeship training combines work and academics in a formal program leading to journeyperson consideration.
The student must be 18 years of age, physically capable of performing required tasks, working for an employer, able to collect On-the-Job Training (OJT) time, and registered through their employer with the Department of Labor, Office of Apprenticeship (OA). The majority of the crafts require 8,000 hours of on-the-job supervised training (approximately four years for full time work) along with 576 hours of classroom training (approximately four years). Upon successful completion, craft workers are recognized at the journey-level in their trade and are awarded their BAT certificate.
