Answer:
True.
Explanation:
True.
We use the following document Local Apprnticeship And Training Standards For The Electrical Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee.
On the section "TIME-BASED OCCUPATION" says: "The time-based approach measures skill acquisition through the individual apprentice’s completion of at least 2,000 hours of on-the-job learning as described in a work process schedule".
Section V: - Term of Apprenticeship
MINIMUM – 180 HOURS PER YEAR/LOCAL JATC MAY INCREASE AS DEEMED NECESSARY
And as we can see is approved to extend the probation with more than the established hours.
