What is Apprenticeship?

At Sussex Tech, we call it the “Other Four Year Degree.” It is the best way to learn a skilled trade. An apprenticeship program combines daily hands-on training though your sponsoring employer with related classroom instruction in the evenings at Sussex Tech Adult Division. It is a formal system of learning and practicing your chosen career trade.

New student orientations start August 17, 2009.

New students must call Sussex Tech Adult Division at (302) 856-9035 to schedule their orientation/assessment session.
Apprenticeship training classes are tuition free to official Delaware state registered apprentices and Maryland State registered apprentices who are Delaware residents. All other students pay tuition. Note: State registered apprentices must have a valid apprenticeship aggreement by August 31, 2009 in order to attend tuition free training.

Returning students early registration period will start on June 1, 2009.

All returning students must register for classes prior to the start of the 2009/2010 school year (Ocober 1, 2009). The Sussex Tech Adult Division office will be open for registrations as follows:

Applicants will not be registered for classes until tuition fees and/or registration fees are paid. Any student who registers after the start of classes (October 1, or 5, 2009) will be required to pay a $25 late fee.
