An apprentice must physically attend at least 85% of the course hours to receive credit for the year’s related instruction. An absence which drops an apprentice's attendance below this threshold will result in a full drop of the final grade. This will occur with any additional
unexcused absences that follow.
A request for an absence to be excused must be documented in writing from the employer. Acceptable excuses are: pre-scheduled vacation, personal illness or injury, birth of the apprentice's child or death of an immediate family member. An occasional work-related absence may be excused.
An excuse needs to be sent to AACP by email at info@aacpnet.org within two [2] days of the absence. An unexcused absence may not be made up.
NOTE: An excuse from an apprentice will not be accepted.
