All online Industrial Truck Mechanic Apprenticeship courses currently available for UAW-Ford Apprentices are listed below. Before registering, it’s always useful to speak with your local joint apprenticeship coordinator (LJAC) to make sure you’re taking the right number of classes, in the correct order, are meeting your apprenticeship requirements, etc.

Browse the list below to enroll in the course(s) of your choice. You may register for multiple classes at once, but you will need to complete a new registration form for each course. Once you’ve registered and your LJAC approves you for enrollment, you will receive a welcome email containing a different student ID for each class you are enrolled. You will, however, have the same username and password for all courses, and can easily jump between them in your student portal.

We’ll be adding more new courses each month so be sure to check back periodically if you don’t see a course you’re interested in listed below!
