Led by Working Experts
Courses are taught by licensed Journeyman Technicians who bring current field experience directly into the classroom. That means you’re not just learning from a book—you’re learning from professionals who are out there doing the work every day.
How You’ll Learn
Each level of the program builds on the one before it, combining:
Earn While You Learn (For Select Students)
All students complete their first year in the classroom. After that, Haynes evaluates each student’s performance, work ethic, and growth. Select students may be invited to join our in-house apprenticeship program, where they begin earning on-the-job learning (OJL) hours while employed at Haynes.
This opportunity provides valuable experience, mentorship, and progress toward your Journeyman Certification—but it’s based on merit and not guaranteed for all.
We believe the right tools make a big difference—not just in getting the job done, but in building confidence and pride in your craft. At Haynes University, we support your growth by helping you build a high-quality toolset over time.
As you complete each level of the program, you’ll receive a tool stipend to invest in the gear you need to succeed in the field. It’s our way of backing you up as you build your future—one wrench, meter, and screwdriver at a time.
Tool Stipend Breakdown
That’s a total of $1,500 in tools—provided directly to you as you progress through the program.
These stipends aren’t generic giveaways—they’re designed to help you purchase the tools you’ll actually use on the job. By the time you graduate, you’ll not only have the skills—you’ll have a professional setup that’s ready for the real world.
Haynes University is designed to give you more than just theory—it equips you with the real, hands-on skills employers are looking for. From the first semester through graduation, you’ll be developing technical know-how that you can apply immediately in the field.
