Registered Apprenticeship program sponsors identify the minimum qualifications to apply into their apprenticeship programs. Individuals applying for acceptance into an apprenticeship program must be at least 16 years old. To be an apprentice in a hazardous occupation, the individual must usually be 18 years. Program sponsors may also identify additional minimum qualifications and credentials to apply, e.g., education, ability to physically perform the essential functions of the occupation, ability to complete the related technical instruction, proof of age. Along with the completed application form, each prospective apprentice may be required by the program sponsor to submit a transcript of school subjects and grades, proof of age, an honorable military discharge (if applicable), and a high-school diploma or equivalence certificate (if applicable). References from all previous employers may be required.
