It is easy to register for a class using TradeSchool. First you must be eligible to take classes. If you do not hold a classification and are marked “unclassified” in TradeSchool then you are not a participant in a JATC program or a member of Local 26. If you hold a dues receipt from Local 26, and would like your classification updated in TradeSchool so you can take classes, please contact us.
Class registration takes place under the Class Schedule tab visible when you open your TradeSchool account. There is a search window to look for a particular class. You can search by class number, class title or key word. You will also see headings for Classes by Credit, Classes by Location and Classes by Month. Classes by Credit will organize the classes available by topic. When you locate a class that interests you click the view button to see more details. Verify some key information about the class like the location, session dates and time, the purchase fee. When you are confident the class works for you click on the green shopping cart. The class goes into your cart and you can add more classes if you like. When you are done adding classes you click on the Proceed to Checkout button and make a payment.
If you can’t find a class and think it should be available, remember these points. Classes can fill up and are removed from the list when full. The same class is not offered every semester or quarter. The class may be available but not offered at your preferred location. It is always best to start looking for classes before the night class school year begins. At the end of the year few classes are available, and no classes are offered during the summer months. Choose carefully, classes are not expensive but they are nonrefundable.
