Directed Study is a self-paced guided study for motivated students working in trades for which there are too few apprentices for a traditional class. You will meet with your instructor weekly for insights and guidance to ensure your steady progress and to document your success. This is a textbook based program with no hands on: apprentices receive their hands on via their employer. Trades taught via directed study include carpentry and heavy equipment operator. Students should purchase their textbook from the NCCER online bookstore https://tinyurl.com/NCCER.
