Apprenticeship Credit Articulation Sample Clauses

Apprenticeship Credit Articulation. The JATC apprenticeship term is 3.5 years (or 5,000 hours) of on-the-job training supplemented by three years of classroom instruction (or a minimum of 432 hours). According to Carnegie Unit standards defining college credit hours, each credit hour of classroom credit must consist of at least 750 minutes of instruction, and each credit hour of on-the-job training must consist of at least 1,500 minutes of training. The formulas for determining how apprenticeship training equates into Carnegie Units are: Total minutes of apprentice classroom training ÷ 750 = Classroom credit hours Total minutes of apprentice on-the-job training ÷ 1500 = On-the-job credit hours Apprentice classroom credit hours + on-the-job credit hours = Total college credit hours A conversion of JATC apprenticeship hours into Carnegie Units reveals that an apprentice accumulates 34.6 classroom credit hours and 200 on-the-job credit hours during the full apprenticeship term. East Central College policy allows for a maximum of 45 hours from non-ECC entities to be accredited toward AAS degrees. Hence, ECC agrees to award a maximum of 45 hours of credit for prior learning toward completion of the AAS-Skilled Trades degree in recognition of the eminent quality and quantity of training provided by the JATC apprenticeship program.
