Division of Apprenticeship Studies

CSN has formed credit granting partnerships with several area registered apprenticeship programs. These programs are required to adhere to a set of standards as developed by the Unites States Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training. The specific requirements for the standards are listed in Nevada Revised Statute 610, and each program’s standards are reviewed and approved by the Nevada State Apprenticeship Council. Additionally, program curriculum is reviewed and approved by the Nevada Department of Education. A minimum of 144 hours of related instruction is required for each year of apprenticeship, and the period of indentureship ranges from a minimum of two to a maximum of five years depending on the particular apprenticeship program. Individuals become indentured through the Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee selection process. A specific Associate of Applied Science (AAS) and/or Certificate of Achievement are available to any enrolled, registered apprentice. College credit is awarded for the special program courses taught and paid for by the apprenticeship partner. Individual apprentices are required to enroll in general education courses required for completion of the AAS and/or Certificate.

For information about the qualifications necessary for entering the various programs, please contact the CSN Division of Apprenticeship Studies office at 702-651-4127.
