No sponsor in Ohio has published a wage scale, so we can name the 1 registered apprenticeship below but not what they pay. The trade schools further down publish their prices, which is why they look more complete. That is a gap in the public record, not a verdict on which is the better deal.
What the job pays in Ohio
$60,470median, per year

Not enough on file to rank
For each of these the record is missing a price, or the trade is our reading of the program name the school publishes rather than a field we can cite. Either way there is not enough on file to rank them against the schools above, so they are listed and no more.
Requirements, the test, timing
Finding the program is the easy part. The application is where people fall down.
