Registered Apprenticeship Structure
Registered Apprenticeships follow occupation-specific standards. Elevate combines supervised on-the-job learning, related technical instruction, mentor verification, and documented completion requirements.
Core Structure
Do not use one hour total for every occupation. The registered standard for each program controls the RTI, competencies, supervision, wage progression, evidence, and completion basis.
On-the-Job Learning (OJL)
Paid, supervised work-based learning at an approved employer or host site. Work records remain part of the apprenticeship evidence; the registered occupation determines whether hours or competencies control completion.
Related Technical Instruction (RTI)
Structured theory and technical instruction delivered through the approved curriculum. RTI requirements are occupation-specific and must be documented and verified.
Competency & Documentation
Work evidence, competencies, mentor verification, required documents, RTI, wages, and completion evidence are recorded throughout the apprenticeship.
Barber Apprenticeship example — RAPIDS 0030CB
The approved Barber occupation is competency-based. Completion requires all 14 verified competencies plus 260 verified RTI hours, together with the required placement, supervision, wage, and sponsor records. Work/OJL hours are retained as auditable evidence; they are not a fixed completion denominator for this occupation.

Apprenticeship facts before you apply
How do I pay for apprenticeship training?
Apprenticeship programs are self-pay only. Review the published total tuition, deposit, supplies, and what is due now. Pay in full or use a program payment plan when offered. BNPL, when displayed, is third-party financing requiring provider approval and repayment; review interest and terms. It is not a grant.
Compare apprenticeship programs →Does applying enroll me or reserve a training spot?
An inquiry is free and requests information; it does not enroll you or reserve placement. An enrollment application requests admission and requires the payment steps shown for your program. Enrollment is confirmed only after Elevate verifies approval, documents, agreements, payment arrangements, and any required placement.
Start a student application →Who pays wages and supervises workplace training?
The employing Host Shop or employer provides wages and licensed supervision. Elevate supports related instruction and training records. Employment and schedules depend on an approved placement.
Explore Host Shops →How do I know the hours, tuition and licensing requirements?
Use the details on your exact program page. Requirements differ by occupation. A competency-based apprenticeship is completed through its required competencies and related instruction, rather than a single hour total.
