In order to be an apprentice with FLFTI you must complete 150 hours of classroom time. We break this classroom time up to 3 blocks. Block classes are 4 days per block. You must also be generating on the job training (OJT) hours with one of our contractors. This is where we help you gain employment for work. If you are laid-off from one of our contractors you must come into the hall and fill out the out of work book so that we can find you another place to work.
No experience is necessary, however if you have legitimate documentation, i.e paycheck stubs from a company in the field we might be able to grant you credit for the work you already know.
