A letter will be emailed to all applicants letting you know if you were accepted or not.  If accepted, a pre-indenture drug screen must be passed and a mandatory orientation will be held.  If you are not accepted, you will be placed on the eligibility list for further consideration for up to 2 years or until accepted in whichever comes first.  You can request to be removed from that list if you choose.  Be sure to keep your physical address, email and phone number current with our office during the entire process,  as we will send letters of acceptance as apprentices are needed and we must be able to reach you.

If you are accepted into the program you will be responsible for purchasing your tools for work and books for school.  Tools will range anywhere from $400 – $1000 and books will be approximately $300 for the first year.  An ABC representative can give you a list of required tools upon request.  Also, if accepted you will be required to sign a promissory note that states if you quit or are terminated from the program before its completion, you will be required to pay back the cost of the tuition paid by your contractor.  It is very important you have reliable transportation if accepted as the job you are placed on could be anywhere in the local jurisdiction.
