Data limitations

Missing from this site does not always mean the program does not exist.

Coverage is incomplete

Not every legitimate apprenticeship shows up in the public records we use. Missing from this site does not always mean the program does not exist.

Cost and wage are often partial

Tuition figures may leave out tools, exam fees, or living costs. Wage figures may be first-year only, or one local scale. We show what we have and note what is missing.

Open status changes

Whether a program is accepting applications changes often and is rarely published in a lasting way. If we cannot confirm it, we mark it unknown.

We add places when the numbers are there

Early pages are the trades and states where the public numbers already exist. We would rather wait than pad a page.
