1.2 The Steps to Getting Registered in Courses at Fanshawe College
The application will be emailed to the apprentice or employer. Academic qualification for the 620C (Trade Code) is the completion of Grade 12. (In this case below, the apprentice must have presented a copy of their high school transcript to MTCU in order to qualify for apprenticeship).
- The form is completed and emailed back to the training consultant at the Ministry.
- The training consultant then emails a “Training Agreement” to the employer.
- The apprentice and employer complete and sign the agreement and email it back to the Training Consultant.
- MTCU creates a record for the apprentice and issues a Client ID number. The date of signing the agreement is referred to as the “Seniority Date.”
- Within 90 days of signing the training agreement, an apprentice must complete the application for Membership in the Ontario College of Trades”. The application is sent to the apprentice from MTCU. The fee currently for that membership is $60 plus HST.
- Once the apprentice is “signed” at the London office, a copy of their application and agreement is sent to Fanshawe College’s Registrar’s office. Fanshawe will contact you regarding registration and schedule.
This program is a part-time program, so you can register in one or more courses depending on your personal circumstances. The typical timeline to complete the program is 3 years.
All courses and placements costs are much lower than a regular diploma course. Currently, courses cost $112.19 and Placements cost $62.47plus taking 3 (three) General Education College Level Courses (Electives) at Fanshawe College. The General education courses qualify for the ECE Grant.
In the following few chapters, we will provide all the paperwork and forms needed to successfully complete the placement portion of the program.
The model for Apprenticeship placement is that your Curriculum Professor is your direct faculty support. This means the student takes the Curriculum and Placement courses at the same time.
You are NOT assigned a faculty advisor, as the assumption is most of your hours are done within your workplace or workplace organization. Your placement hours are to be completed within the 7-week time period you are registered, with all paperwork to be completed by the last day of the term.
