Related Technical Instruction
AVTEC’s Related Technical Instruction (RTI) provides training materials to apprentices to aid them as they progress through the various levels of a registered apprenticeship program. The mission of Related Technical Instruction is to provide third party testing online to students throughout the State of Alaska who could not otherwise receive the apprenticeship.
What does an apprenticeship have to offer?
Apprentices:
- The opportunity to earn as you learn
- Wages that increase along with your skills
- Increased marketability and job security
- Personal satisfaction and pride of workmanship
- Assurance that your training and certifications will meet industry standards
Employers:
- The opportunity to recruit and develop a skilled workforce
- Improved productivity and profitability
- Flexible training options to ensure employees are learning relevant skills
- Increased employee retention
Enrollment
Enrollment is open throughout the year. To enroll in a course, an apprentice must submit an application, proctor agreement (see below), and pay the cost of tuition, tests, and the application fee up-front. Apprentices will have one calendar year to complete the coursework.
If an apprentice cannot complete the required coursework by the scheduled completion date, they may request a one-time six-month extension for $150. The request for an extension must be made prior to the scheduled completion date. Apprentices who fail to complete the coursework in the allotted time or request an extension, will be withdrawn from the program.
An apprentice who has been withdrawn may re-enroll at any time and receive another calendar year to complete the program. The apprentice will have to pay the full tuition for the corresponding year and the application fee.
