OJL Apprenticeship
Note: Level 3 training will be 6 months of on-the-job learning monitored by fleet
manager.
By now the apprentice should have mastered the skills required to begin the solo-
driving portion of training. The fleet manager and apprentice may prepare a list of
goals and objectives for the apprentice to achieve in the following months. This will
give the apprentice a clear view of what is expected and the fleet manager a way to
assess their progress.
