Application Process

Step II: APTITUDE TEST

Once a completed application is submitted, we will schedule you for an aptitude test.  The aptitude test covers two proficiencies, reading comprehension and mathematics (Algebra-based).  You will need to post a qualifying score (3) in order to advance to the next stage of the selection process which is a sit-down interview. The number of items and the amount of time allotted for each test is as follows:

1. Algebra and Functions: 33 questions over 46 minutes

2. Reading Comprehension: 36 questions over 51 minutes

You will take a short break between the Algebra and Functions Test and the Reading Comprehension Test.

Things to Work on

While waiting for an interview, there are a couple things you can do to help yourself in the process. 

​

• You will need an Electrician Apprentice license from the TDLR website (link is on our Resources page).  The cost for this card is $20.00 and you have any misdemeanors of felonies, you will also need to fill out the criminal history questionnaire. We are unable to send any out to work without this license, it is a class C misdemeanor, resulting in fines between $2,000-$5,000 plus one year probated suspension up to revocation.

• You can also start working on a  TWIC (Texas Workers Identification Card). The Transportation Worker Identification Credential, also known as TWIC®, is required by the Maritime Transportation Security Act for workers who need access to secure areas of the nation’s maritime facilities and vessels. TSA conducts a security threat assessment (background check) to determine a person’s eligibility and issues the credential.

1. Provide required documentation, be fingerprinted and take a facial photo. Bring your current U.S. passport or a driver’s license and birth certificate. See other acceptable documents.

2. Pay a non-refundable fee valid for five years with a credit card, money order, company check or certified/cashier’s check. Fees are as follows, new applicant $125.25 and replacement card $60
