In lieu of a traineeship completed under the auspices of the Maine Apprenticeship Program, and in the absence of a determination from the Maine Apprenticeship Program pursuant to Section 1 of this chapter, the Board may recognize a traineeship completed in another jurisdiction upon demonstration by the applicant, and submission of such documents as the board may require, that the completed traineeship was substantially similar in nature to the traineeship described in this chapter. The hours, duration and recency provisions of this chapter apply to any such traineeship. The applicant is responsible for corroborating the number of hours served. Recognition by the board substitutes for the certificate of completion described in Section 7 of this chapter and required for licensure by Chapter 6-A, Section 2(1)(B) of the board's rules.
