CTECS Adult Apprenticeship Courses

We provide related instruction for all license categories in the following areas:

Our program provides apprentices with a comprehensive knowledge of their selected career. They learn on the job while working under the supervision of an experienced journey-person and will be registered with an approved sponsor.

Students taking all coursework required for their license category graduate the program with all related instruction hours needed for their trade area and knowledge and skills necessary to get licensed with the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection.
