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.

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.
