New Requirement for OJT Hours

Effective October 1, 2021, IECRM will now be requiring all students to record Work Reports for On-the-job training hours per our agreement with Emily Griffith Technical College (EGTC). EGTC gives college credit hours to students to further their education after the completion of our program. These credits can be used at any Colorado Community College for an Associates Degree in Applied Science or CSU Global for a Bachelor’s degree of their choosing.

The policy has been added to section 25.0 in the Student Handbook

It is required by all students to record their monthly on-the-job training (OJT) hours in Flashpoint. Contractors must approve the submitted hours through their company profile on Flashpoint. OJT hours must be industry-related. This requirement meets standards set by EGTC. Audits will be done quarterly by IECRM staff. In the event hours are not recorded the student will not receive full credit hours as part of the EGTC agreement.

For EGTC credit you must submit at least 270 approved OJT hours by the end of each semester. Fast Track Students must submit a minimum of 540 approved OJT hours by the end of each semester. 

Regular Start Apprenticeship classes will need to start recording hours as of October 1, 2021 for this current semester. Fast Track students will need to begin with August 2021. OJT Work Reports will need to be submitted at the end of each month (by the student) during their apprenticeship training at IECRM. All industry-related hours will count towards OJT, such as Project Manager or Estimator.

Students participating in the Office of Apprenticeship (OA) program will have no change as they are required to track OJT as part of the program.
Contractors will need to approve the submitted hours once a month through Flashpoint.

IECRM Self-Pay Tuition Policy

 

Self-pay students who are employed with a member company must register and pay through the member company using the IECRM Flashpoint Enrollment Portal/Process in order to qualify for member rates.

Self-pay students that are employed with a member company but that do not register and pay through the member will be charged the non-member rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.


Self-pay students who are employed with a member company and require a payment plan will not qualify for the member rate and will be charged the non-member rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.


Self-pay students who do not work for a member company will continue to be charged the non-member rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.


To maximize association/membership benefits, ALL member companies are encouraged to register and pay for all enrolled apprentices utilizing internal payment arrangements and processes between employer and employee.


We value our IECRM members and apprentice community. We encourage all apprentices to be enrolled in the four-year apprenticeship program, earning, and learning their way toward Journeyworker licensure. We encourage all members to utilize the member discount for tuition, books and applicable fees to ensure the long-term support and success of the next-generation electrician.


(Payment Plans are available, please reference the Self Pay Payment Plan Policy.)


Self-Pay Payment Plan Policy


We offer the following arrangements for students that are unable to pay in full at the time of registration.


● Self-pay students will be charged the non-member rate.
● A 50% down payment of total semester tuition, books and applicable fees are due at registration.
● Remaining balance can be divided up to 3 additional monthly payments ($10.00 processing fee applies on each installment)
● All payments that are declined will incur a $20.00 NSF fee.

 

We encourage all students who are employed with a member company to work with their employer to register and pay through the IECRM Flashpoint Enrollment Portal/Process. This will ensure the student is paying the lowest possible rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.
