Instruction will be delivered in a hybrid format. Whenever possible and appropriate students will complete theory based instruction off campus while logged into a virtual classroom (students that have limited or no internet access will attend classes in person at the school.) When it becomes necessary to perform hands on competencies they will be conducted in the schools Shop/Lab and under all safety and social distancing guidelines determined by the Instructor, CDC, VDOE and BCPS. Those who qualify will be able to test and obtain the Virginia State Inspection License (be advised that BCPS employees will never ask for a student’s Social security number, however, the State Police do require it as part of their background check).
