NMC Code 078

Apprenticeships combine work, on-the-job training, and classroom instruction to prepare workers for high-skilled careers. As a recognized related technical instruction (RTI) provider, NMC supports the educational courses and training components of a registered apprenticeship. This certificate is designed to credential a student in a US Department of Labor Registered Apprenticeship. The courses required are developed in partnership with the employer to meet the training needs and associated national standards of the occupation. Students will need to meet with the Experiential Learning Program Coordinator to determine eligibility and complete additional apprenticeship registration requirements.
