The UPHCA is utilizing the PHCC-NA E-Learning program with supplemental curriculum to meet Utah requirements. This program allows for self-paced, remote learning at a rate much lower than traditional trade schools, while, fulfilling all classroom hour requirements for Apprentices. This E-Learning program meets the Utah Department of Occupational & Professional Licensing (DOPL) and Federal Apprenticeship program through the Department of Labor.
