REGIONAL TRAINING CENTERS
Starting October 2002, the National Training Fund (NTF) began conducting Train-the-Trainer classes at three regional training centers (RTC) located in Springfield, New Jersey, St. Louis and Oakland, California. To better serve the ironworker membership the NTF recently moved the east coast RTC from New Jersey to Washington, D.C.
To register for classes at the regional training centers, please follow the steps below:
VERY IMPORTANT!
1. The RTC registration process has changed and as of June 30, 2020, all RTC registrations must be made using the Google forms link provided to all coordinators via listserv.
2. Coordinators must fill out a separate registration for each student attending. The registration link can be accessed via local apprenticeship coordinator.
3. Registrations must be submitted using the link four weeks prior to the first day of class. There will be absolutely no exceptions to this requirement.
4. Classes may be canceled if there are not enough participants. Dates of classes are subject to change at the discretion of the NTF office.
