(b) The certificate shall signify completion of training under standards and trainee agreements approved under State Law and these regulations.

The training program sponsor will attest to the related and supplemental instruction after consulting with the appropriate school authorities regarding the completion of the educational requirements of related and supplemental subjects.

(d) The certificate is in recognition of completion of training. The certificate may be granted to a trainee only when the trainee:

(1) in addition to credit for previous on-the-job training and related school instruction, which is of an approved nature, shall have completed not less than an additional twelve and one-half (12 1/2) percent of the total training program but not less than a three months as a trainee under these regulations; and

(2) demonstrated to the satisfaction of the training program sponsor mastery of the skills and knowledge of the prescribed program.

(f) Credit toward the training for work experience prior to the training may be given by the training program sponsor after verification and/or examination. Credit for partial completion of the education requirements for related and supplemental instruction may be given by the training program sponsor after consultation with the appropriate school authorities concerning the mastery of the related instruction ordinarily required of the trainees.

(g) In instances where school classes are not available or where attendance will result in an undue hardship on the trainee, the training program sponsor, after consultation with the appropriate school officials, may make arrangements for acceptance of educational experiences such as home study or correspondence courses as fulfilling the relate and supplemental educational requirement.
