(a) An apprentice whose agreement is terminated prior to completion of the apprenticeship program, and who seeks to enter a new apprenticeship program in the same classification, may be granted apprenticeship credit by the Local Apprenticeship Subcommittee (LAS) for the previous apprenticeship time served under the following conditions:

(b) If an apprentice is called to military duty, his/her apprenticeship agreement will be put in suspense for the duration of such duty, to be activated upon the apprentice's return to the apprenticeship classification.

(c) The LAS shall not grant apprenticeship credit to an apprentice with a break in service of over three years. The LAS shall refer the matter to the Commission on Correctional Peace Officer Standards and Training (CPOST) Executive Board, which may grant credit for the prior service. The apprentice shall submit documentation to the CPOST Executive Board to support the request for program credits. The LAS shall submit copies of all documents relevant to the appeal to the CPOST within 10 working days of receiving notification of the appeal.

(d) The LAS shall not grant apprenticeship credit for prior work experience while the apprentice was in an acting position for less than 15 consecutive days.

(e) The LAS may grant apprenticeship credit for out-of-class service, if the work was performed in a CPOST apprenticeable classification.

(f) The LAS shall enroll every limited term employee working in a CPOST apprenticeship classification. The LAS may grant up to full apprenticeship credit to the employee for the limited term work experience.

(g) The LAS may give credit for apprenticeship experience earned in the Department of Corrections and the Department of the Youth Authority for apprentices transferring between employing departments, to the extent that the work processes overlap. If the LAS has insufficient basis to make the credit decision, the LAS may forward the request to the CPOST Executive Board for determination of allowable credit.

(h) Credit for prior peace officer experience in law enforcement agencies other than those specified in Section 6029 shall be referred to the CPOST Executive Board.
