Common use of General Guidance Clause in Contracts

General Guidance. The sponsor will verify that the apprentice has completed all requirements of apprenticeship including a signed copy of transcripts from the sponsor, provider or sponsor of the related instruction. The field office representative shall have in evidence an electronic or written Application for Certification of Completion of Apprenticeship. When a large number of apprentices are completing at the same time from the same occupation, one application form from the sponsor can be used with an attached list of pertinent information for the completing apprentices. When the sponsor has more than one occupation or more than one employer, the sponsor should complete separate forms for each occupation and employer, follow the procedure above. The occupation identified, must be the occupation title as listed in the most current List of Officially Recognized Apprenticeable Occupations. For sponsors who use a slightly different occupational title, OA staff may use the sponsor’s title as long as the officially recognized occupational title is included in parenthesis under the sponsor’s occupational title. Please see attached “sample” for reference. The term “journeyman, journeyworker, journeyperson, etc.” should not be included in the occupational title. These terms are used to describe a level of competency rather than an occupational title. In rare instances where a program sponsor may utilize such a term above in their occupational title and that terminology is consistently used within their organization and training materials, OA staff may use that terminology on the sponsor’s occupational title as long as the officially recognized occupational title is listed in parenthesis under the sponsor’s title. The practice of using a level of competency in the occupational title should be discouraged when possible. The sponsor’s name on the Certificate of Completion of Apprenticeship shall be as it is registered and approved in their apprenticeship standards. The date completed shall be the date of completion as indicated on the request form.
