The Pittsburgh Chapter NTMA provides the related Instruction portion for Pennsylvania’s apprenticeship program. Each year, we accept approximately 25 new apprentices into the four-year training program. Apprentices complete 144 hours of classroom training and 2000 hours of hands-on application at his or her job site annually. To earn their journeyman’s papers, apprentices must also be registered with his or her employer’s qualified Pennsylvania apprenticeship program for on-the-job training.
