First on the list gets dispatched first. Number 90 waits.

Nobody preps you for the part that sets your rank.

You passed the aptitude test. So did half the room. Now a panel of journeymen, contractors, and training directors will spend about 20 minutes deciding your number on a ranked list. The training centers themselves say they can't offer mock interviews. The test-prep companies stop at the test. Most applicants walk in cold, give vague answers about liking to work with their hands, and get a rank that quietly ends a six-figure trade career before it starts.

What's inside

01

The Mock Panel

Unlimited AI panel interviews. Real question categories, follow-ups that dig, a score on every answer, and a rank-readiness report after every session. Your stories, never scripts. Committees smell a memorized answer in one sentence, so we won't hand you one.

02

The Portfolio Builder

The application packet the panel flips through while you talk. Trade-ready resume, a cover letter that survives the 'why this trade' question, recommendation letters engineered to come back specific, and the hands-on project one-pager almost nobody else brings.

03

The Process Playbook

How the ranked list actually works, when to apply, what your scores mean, and the exact 8-week comeback plan if you already tested and didn't make it.

FAQ

What exactly am I buying?

Skill files that turn Claude into your interview panel and portfolio coach, plus two playbooks (the process guide and the 8-week comeback plan). You load the files once and run unlimited sessions on your own Claude account. It is not a separate app and there is no subscription to us.

Is this affiliated with any union or training center?

No. ApprenticeRank is an independent product with no affiliation or endorsement from any union, JATC, or training center.

Will this work for plumbers, operators, or sheet metal?

V1 is built for the electrical apprenticeship funnel. The interview structure is similar across trades and many buyers use it anyway; trade-specific versions are coming.

Do I need to be good with computers?

If you can use a chat app, you can use this. Setup takes five minutes and there's a walkthrough video.

What do I need?

A free Claude account (claude.ai, the AI chat app; instructions and a walkthrough video are included) and your own work history. Free accounts work; Claude's paid tier gives longer sessions.
