(c)   Temporary certifications shall expire on the date of the next available certification module.

(d)   The Program Director may grant apprentice certification to apprentices sampling and/or testing construction materials under the direct guidance of certified construction materials technicians. Such apprenticeships shall be used for the sole purpose of developing knowledge and skills by the apprentice and are not prerequisite for certification.

(e)   In order to receive an apprentice certification, an applicant must (1) agree to conduct, under the direct guidance of a certified construction materials technician, all sampling and/or testing which he or she performs and (2) make payment of $100.00 for certification in each area of interest.
