Flaco,
Unless you live in or near a large city, you would be unlikely to find a certified apprenticeship program involving non-union shops.
Though it seems like just the other day when I was an apprentice, so much time has elapsed that i don't remember what I was asked in my interview. I kow that the local i am currently a member of does ask if you have any problem with working out of town and if you anticipate any problems attending class. Around here, you miss class without a really good reason, you're history.
You might try visiting Herb Porter's board, he is an apprenticeship instructor & may be able to tell you what you want to know.
