Trades apprenticeship applications open in Buffalo - 14 weeks in

The training centre near Buffalo opened applications for apprenticeships in electrical and welding trades. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. The application needs a diploma or equivalent, a driver's licence and a short aptitude test. What do you wish you had known?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.

Visit the training centre in person if you can. Seeing the classrooms helped me decide.
