Who will determine whether or not an apprentice succeeds in becoming a Journeyman Electrical Worker?

• A. Apprentice
• B. AJATC
• C. Employer
• D. Instructor

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is who takes the responsibility for moving an apprentice toward journeyman status. In an electrical apprenticeship, progress hinges on the apprentice actively meeting all requirements—completing the required on‑the‑job hours, finishing the classroom portions, and proving competence through assessments and a final demonstration of skills. The system is built for the apprentice to drive their own success: diligent study, hands‑on practice, and readiness to perform under supervision determine whether they’re ready to advance. While instructors, the training committee, and employers provide guidance, critique, and official approvals, the decisive factor is the apprentice’s own preparation and ability to meet the established standards.
