All apprenticeship classes are for registered apprentices in one these trades and students are only eligible to seek an apprenticeship degree or sit for a licensing exam upon successful completion of a registered apprenticeship program as administered by a registered JATC.

Apprentices take a core class every term (fall, winter, spring, summer). For LME and SE apprentices, Term 1 may begin in fall term or spring term. For LBME apprentices, must begin their Term 1 in fall term and must complete their OSHA 10 and Coyne 1st Aid Safety class before logging any on-the-job training hours.

An apprentice may begin their program at any term during the year. If an apprentice begins their program in a term when their core class is unavailable, they must enroll in a full-term 30+ hour approved elective from the training committee’s list of approved electives.

Booklists for all classes are available through the PCC Cascade Bookstore and may be purchased in person from the bookstore or online from the PCC bookstore or any online retailer.
