A quick Guide on how to

Our five year apprenticeship begins with the application process.

Step 1
You will need to create an account on our online application portal provided in the link at the bottom of the page. If you have any questions, you can contact the Apprenticeship office at 205-849-5522 or email info@bejatc.org.
At this point, you have a decision to make. Some people don’t want to go to school right now and just want to work. We have a path for that called the CW/CE program. Those that want to pursue the five-year registered apprenticeship program have a few more steps to take.
