(4) A trainee classification is nonrenewable and shall be limited to a: (i) Two-year time period for residential and accessibility certification categories. (ii) Three-year time period for all other certification categories. (5) Individuals with trainee classifications may learn the duties of a certified individual while under the supervision of a sponsor described in paragraph (3). On-the-job training shall occur under direct supervision by the sponsor or by an individual certified in the category of work that is the subject of the training. An inspector trainee may not conduct inspections unless the inspector trainee is accompanied by an individual certified in the category of work that is the subject of the training. (6) The department may establish fees and applications and registration procedures to establish the trainee classification system. (7) Individuals with trainee classifications shall be listed on the department's publicly accessible Internet website.
