Class Description

For this course, participants will report to the Training Center on Monday morning. From there they will travel to Steel Plaza to construct the Pittsburgh Creche. This is the only authorized replica of the nativity scene at St. Peters Basilica in Rome. Participants will be working outdoors and must dress accordingly. This course can be credited as a third or fourth year course but the course may only be taken once. If you are not a third or fourth year apprentice, you must call the Training Center to request admission. Participants in this project will also receive a UCAN credit.

Equipment Required

All apprentices must bring their bag and tools to every training session. Leave your tools in your vehicle and bring your bag in with you. Proper attire is required at the Training Center at all times including sleeved shirts, jeans or khaki pants, and work boots. Safety glasses and hardhats are required at all times in the shops.

Attendance Requirements

Attendance at the first training session is mandatory. 100% attendance is required for all courses that issue Certificates or Qualifications and Apprentice mandatory training. Please be on time! Late arrivals (and early departures) are disruptive to instructors and participants. Poor attendance / disruptive behavior will result in your being dropped from a particular training session.

Cancellation Policy

To maximize the effectiveness of our training sessions, we limit the number of attendees. If you are registered for a specific training and need to cancel, please notify us five (5) business days before the start of scheduled training. Failure to notify us of cancellation may result in your being denied registration for future training. We reserve the right to cancel any course - with five (5) business days’ notice - for which there is an insufficient number of registered attendees. Registrants may then enroll in the next available offering of the course, or cancel the registration.
