Apprenticeship Programs Strategy for Success for Apprenticeship Program Delivery Apprenticeship deliveries are 8 weeks (240 hours) of Theory based training. Students receiving 70% or greater on government exam are deemed to have passed and can return home/work. Students receiving less than 70% but greater than 50% are mandated to stay an extra 2 weeks for tutoring and are given a second opportunity to challenge the Level exam at the end of the 2 week period. Students receiving less than 50% are not eligible for a second challenge and must repeat Level training again. The success rate on the first attempt is very good averaging about 85%. The success rate on the second attempt is about 95%.
