Apprentice management Program
What is amp?

AMP stands for Apprentice Management Program and it is a full-service system where we do all the heavy lifting regarding training and documentation of your apprentices. We want to take this off your plate so you can focus on your customers and your business.

Why choose ats?

Experienced: Nathan Poland created ATS as the first in the nation online, interactive electrical apprenticeship school.

Nathan has also taught electrical technology at the high school level and has taught and directed the NH State Electrical Program at Dover School of Technology.

Approved: ATS is approved by the electrical boards in NH, ME, VT, and WY, the NH Dept. of Education, and the Federal Dept. of Labor.

Flexible: Our students complete their schooling on their time. That means apprentices don’t need to pull off a job early to get to class.

Convenient: Students can start their course at any time and have 8 months to complete. No more waiting until September! Apprentices can start with us when they start with you.

benefits of amp:

Multiple Apprentice Discount: Employers signing up 3 or more apprentices will receive a discount of $85 per course.

Grade Reports: Upon request at the end of the course, you and your apprentices will receive a grade report that will include all lessons the apprentice completed, and their grade for each activity and exam.

Monthly Reporting: Concerned that some of your apprentices will fall behind? Monthly reporting helps you stay on top of who is on track and who needs a little nudge. Each month you will receive a report listing all your apprentices and their progress in the course, including current overall grade, weeks completed, and participation progress.

Proof of Enrollment: Each year for an apprentice to renew their apprentice card they must show proof of enrollment in an approved apprenticeship program. ATS will create the proof of enrollment letter and send it via email to the state(s) that require the certificate. The apprentice is cc’d on the above email, so that they know the certificate has been sent.

Certificate of Completion: Upon completion of the course, you and your apprentices will receive a certificate of completion, including the final grade for the course.

Curriculum: ATS courses are state-approved in NH, VT, ME, and WY as a 100% Interactive Online Course. You have total control of what you want to add to the curriculum to make it yours. You can include hands-on portions of installations that are specific to your business, or you might want to create training on installations that your apprentices don’t usually see, because of the focus of your business. This allows apprentices to have a more well-rounded apprenticeship and will help with employee retention. Whatever you chose to do, the four-year program of courses, as purchased, will fulfill the state requirements for a 600-hour electrical apprenticeship program.

Registering Apprentices: Registering Apprentices with ATS couldn’t be easier. You may place an order in our online store, or contact us and we will send you the link to our Student Information Form, and then send you an online invoice that can be paid by card or check. ATS will take it from there.

Getting Students Started: ATS will arrange virtual orientations with each apprentice via Zoom. During the orientation apprentices will log into their student portal they will be shown how to navigate their portal. Apprentices will also be shown where to go to get answers to their questions and where to find additional supplemental training to help them better understand codes and installation practices of our industry.

DOL Approval: Are you looking to become DOL-approved and be able to bid prevailing wage jobs? Did you know that if you have a DOL-registered in-house apprenticeship program you do not need to pay prevailing wage rates as you will have a wage scale already approved by the DOL?
ATS can help! We work with all Northern New England DOL offices. Our curriculum can be used to fulfill the educational portion of your company’s in-house apprenticeship program proposal. Ask us for more details!

Job Board: Need apprentices? As an AMP benefit, we will post your job openings on our Job Board within the ATS student portal. All apprentices have access to the Job Board as one of their student resources.

These Benefits are all included in the price of the Course. All you need to do is sign up!
