Exterior insulated finish systems (EIFS) mechanics, also known as stucco workers, install building systems that combine a resinous exterior cladding with a continuous layer of insulation on a building's walls. They may be responsible for reading instructions and manuals, applying adhesives to walls, preparing and installing insulation board, and applying reinforcing mesh or other coatings on a construction site.

• The Exterior Insulated Finishing Systems Mechanic apprenticeship consists of 5,400 hours of on-the-job training.
• Apprentices must also complete 400 hours of in-class technical training.
• Once you have successfully completed the apprenticeship requirements, you receive a Certificate of Apprenticeship and are certified as a journeyperson in the trade.
• A person with at least 5,800 hours of related work experience is eligible to apply for a Trade Equivalency Assessment (TEA) and, if successful, becomes certified as a journeyperson in this trade.
