Special Instructions: Work processes completed in a state or federally recognized apprenticeship program will be accepted upon presentation of proper documentation to the appropriate service school.
A total of 576 hours of related instruction is required in order to complete this program. Related instruction credit may be awarded individuals registered in the trade of Electronic Technician (Radio/TV) taken from an accredited institution, providing the courses are similar to the courses taken for a Electronic Technician (Radio/TV) program in a community college/vocational school.
