Apprentices complete a required number of hours
in on-the-job training and related instruction.

Apprentices progress at their own pace – they demonstrate
competency in skills and knowledge through assessment tests,
but are not required to complete a specific number of hours.

Hybrid programs blend both competency- and time-based strategies,
using a minimum and maximum range of hours for each major job
function and the successful demonstration of identified competencies.
