OAR 839-011-0265: Apprenticeship and Training Committees — Training in Work Processes

(1) All apprentices must obtain work experience for at least 50% of the hours listed for each work process in the committee's approved standards. A committee unable to provide an apprentice with work experience equaling at least 50% of the hours listed in any of the work processes must provide and document additional related training to compensate for the lack of on-the-job training. A written statement, held in the apprentice’s files, shall document such compensatory training and shall include, date, time, place, hours and instructor. In no event may distance learning classes be used to compensate for deficiencies in total work process hours. (2) For licensed occupations, all variations in work processes must be within the statutory limits governing the trade.
