The local apprenticeship 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 an apprenticeship. The certificate may be granted to an apprentice only when the apprentice:

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

(g) In instances where school classes are not available or where attendance will result in an undue hardship on the apprentice, the local apprenticeship 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 related and supplemental education requirement.
