Step 4: Pass an Aptitude Test

Applicants for the Electrical Apprenticeship who meet all minimum requirements will be scheduled to take the NJATC Apprentice Selection Test Battery.

The test is administered at our training location and takes approximately two and a half hours to complete. It consists of two sections—Algebra and Reading Comprehension—with a short break in between.

Test results are typically available within two business days.

Applicants who receive a passing score will advance to the next step of the application process:

an interview with the JATC Committee.

Step 5: Complete an Interview

Once an applicant successfully passes the aptitude test, ETASF will contact them via email with their scheduled interview date and time. Following the interview, qualified applicants will be placed on the program’s ranking list and will remain eligible for consideration for one (1) year from the date of their interview.

After Interview

After all interviews are completed, ETASF will notify applicants of their ranking score.

Final acceptance into the program will be determined by the end of July each year.
