4 hours a week, like a college course. And FYI the first 6 months is online, You must have the probie courses complete before you can start the 1st year apprentice courses. You cannot do them all at once, one probie course opens a month. You do not get the 2nd year raise until your first two semesters are completed (probie semester is not one of them). You might need hours to also qualify, I don't know I don't have that problem.

And stop worrying about this crap, you have to start working first.
