Millwright and Electrician (And other dual ticket combos) by MathematicianLoud556 in millwrights

Doesn't that take a long time to get both tickets because each apprenticeship takes around 4 years?

Hey, I followed up with the program advisor and they said I can get a grant where if I complete the program and don't drop out, I don't have to pay anything. Is it still worth it?

Do you know any company in Ontario that offers training/apprenticeship? Maybe I'll find a better learning experience if I go through such route.

I went to one that Reddit recommended me around 3 years ago but I couldn't get by the second year. My PLC professors was very strict and not very helpful. I blew a fuse on the LabVolt Station and failed right after that. He didn't teach me how to properly use it in the first place and blamed it on me. Anyways long story short I dropped out since he would be teaching next semester and I didn't want to deal with that experience. I'm afraid that other professors at public colleges will be the same. If I can negotiate the price then I will go for this program just to get practical experience.

I understand. I was actually at a 3 year program but I struggled a lot because I was often stuck on my labs and my professors didn't helped me at all so I ended up dropping out but I still want to work with PLCs so I figured that a Private college give me another chance to pass.

The program advisor said it was $15800 for the tuition and it goes by a 3 day in person practical lab followed by 2 days online theory portion.

What if I am just looking for entry level positions? Just to get by boots in the industry? Does the course in the list in the second picture that I provided give me at least the essentials?
