Concentrated OYAP students have the opportunity to earn secondary school credits and credit for the first level of Academic Apprenticeship Training concurrently. These programs require a minimum of 4 in-school credits + 2 co-op credits in grade 11, 12 or 12+.

These courses usually cost between $2,000 and $6,000 when taken at community colleges and private vocational schools.

Concentrated OYAP programs are offered at designated schools throughout the region. Students must be prepared if necessary to attend a school that offers the Concentrated OYAP program in grade 11, 12 or 12+ . A fee is charged for the materials and certifications that the student receives during the course. The course will do the following:
  • prepare for academic success in the apprenticeship courses
  • earn advanced academic standing in the first apprenticeship course usually taught at a local community college
  • receive special safety and first aid training & certification
