MISCELLANEOUS

An apprentice can miss up to 8 hours without needing to attend make up class. If 9-16 class hours are missed, make up class is required. Once 17 hours of class are missed, the apprentice will no longer be in the current program and an email will be sent to advise the employer.
Please contact ABC with any questions at (515) 985-1160.
