You get paid the day you start. The license comes after 8,000 hours.

Trueline runs paid apprenticeships in Electrical, HVAC, and a combined Dual-Track — real classroom hours, real supervised field hours, logged toward the exact total the state requires before you can sit the journeyman exam.

Pathways

Three tracks, same paid-apprenticeship structure.

Same paid-apprenticeship structure, different hour splits and a different license at the end.

Pathway

Electrical

Conduit bending, code (NEC), panel work, and troubleshooting live circuits under a licensed journeyman. Field hours are paid from week one at a signed contractor site, not a simulated lab.

Length4 years, 8,000 total hours
Hour split576 classroom / 7,424 field

HVAC

Refrigerant handling (EPA 608 certified within month one), duct design, and diagnostic troubleshooting on real residential and light-commercial systems.

Length3 years, 6,000 total hours
Hour split480 classroom / 5,520 field

Ends in: HVAC Journeyman license eligibility

Pathway

Dual-Track

Runs both curricula on a staggered schedule — most dual-track apprentices finish the Electrical license in year 4, then complete the remaining HVAC field hours in year 5. Built for apprentices planning to run their own combined-trade shop eventually.

Length5 years, 11,200 total hours
Hour split792 classroom / 10,408 field

Ends in: Both journeyman licenses

Hours & Wages

The wage ladder, in writing.

Wages step up automatically at fixed hour milestones, not at a supervisor’s discretion — the same schedule applies to every apprentice in every pathway.

0–2,000 hours$19.50/hr
2,001–4,000 hours$23.75/hr
4,001–6,000 hours$27.00/hr
6,001+ hours$31.25/hr
Licensed journeyman$38–46/hr

Hours are logged weekly by your supervising journeyman and countersigned by Trueline’s field coordinator — the same log gets submitted to the state licensing board when you apply to sit the exam, so there’s no separate paperwork scramble at year 4 or 5.

Exam Results

91% first-attempt pass rate, last three years.

Of the 214 Trueline apprentices who sat the state journeyman exam in the last three years, 195 passed on the first attempt. The 19 who didn’t retook it within 60 days at no additional cost — 17 of those passed on the second attempt.

“I logged every one of my 8,000 hours the same week I worked them — Trueline’s coordinator tracked it, not me scrambling to reconstruct four years of timesheets before the exam application deadline.”
— Danny Kowalczyk, Electrical pathway, licensed 2025
“Dual-track took five years instead of four. I knew that going in because the hour split was on the website before I ever toured the building — no surprise extra year.”
— Fatima Al-Rashid, Dual-Track pathway, currently in field year 4
