How do I know if I meet academic requirements?

Interested applicants must be program ready and meet pre-requisite requirements in order to apply to an apprenticeship position.

Program readiness can be proven by:

1. Providing a college transcript proving a passing grade in a pre-requisite math course, making the applicant ready to enroll in Ivy Tech MATH 136.
2. Completing the Knowledge Assessment (STEM path) through Ivy Tech and providing a screenshot of a passing score of 70 or more.

To complete the Knowledge Assessment:

1. Apply to Ivy Tech at ivytech.edu as courses only, if asked.
2. Receive acceptance and instructions to set up your account via email.
3. Setup your MyIvy account and click the link labeled “Knowledge Assessment.”
4. Select STEM Math. If this option is not on your screen, click “enter a key to join private goals” and enter “STEM.” If prompted for a key at any point once you have access to this assessment, enter “STEM.”
5. Complete the initial assessment. If you do not earn a score of 70 or more, complete the remediation with the EdReady system. By completing the remediation, you will reach the target score.
6. Submit a screenshot of your final score to prove program readiness.
