Default Plumbing apprentiship question

Hey guys, I been In the field for a year and work with my father who is a licensed plumbing contractor, so I get the work hours that go towards my apprenticeship, the problem is the school I go to barely has enough kids to hold a class so getting my school hours is tough, I guess what I really want to know is if any of you licensed guys took an online course that was credited by your state ?

I went through a 4 year trade school course that was also a high school. One week high school courses and the following week was for trade school courses. Your first year you went through five building trade courses. Before your sophomore year you were expected to choose what trade you would take for the next 3 years. There are very few of these schools around today. ( I feel there should be more) After graduating from school I went straight to work in the plumbing field and I have never regretted it. After doing a quick search I found this site that may be of some help to you. Just hang in there working for your father. My son has also worked with me since he graduated high school. I am know retired and he is running are 50 year old business.
