			 examinations conducted by the board and having an established place of business
			 who offers his services to the public, i.e., any person who for another and for

			 in the business of maintaining, repairing and servicing television receiving
			 equipment;

			 maintaining and servicing television receiving equipment for a fee or other
			 valuable consideration and whose services may be rendered directly or
			 indirectly to the public;

			 aforesaid licensees may service, repair, or maintain all television systems
			 provided for in chapter 394 of the general statutes, as amended, and these
			 regulations as long as his license is current and in effect;
(d) Repealed, February 9, 1976;
(e) Repealed, February 9, 1976;
(f) An apprentice electronics technician
			 license may be issued to a person who has had no technical education in
			 television repair, or has completed courses in basic electronics, or has
			 started but not completed a course in television repair, and who has obtained
			 employment in the trade of television repair, provided the applicant and his
			 employer have enrolled in the apprentice program prepared and offered by the
			 state board of television examiners, the state board of education and the
			 Connecticut state apprenticeship council. Such program shall consist of three
			 years of on-the-job training of which the first two years shall be under
			 supervision of a licensed certified electronics technician, including home
			 study and classroom related instruction and one year of practical experience,
			 under limited supervision of a certified electronics technician, following
			 successful completion of the prescribed two year on-the-job training and course
			 of instruction. Upon notice from the apprenticeship council that the applicant
			 and his employer have been approved and the applicant enrolled in the state
			 apprenticeship program, the board shall issue an apprentice license to the
			 applicant which shall be effective for a period of three years, subject to
			 annual review by the board. Upon completion of the one year of practical
			 experience under limited supervision, the apprentice shall apply to the board
			 to be tested for a certified electronics technician license. Any apprentice
			 who, at any time during his apprenticeship, changes employers shall notify the
			 board in writing within fifteen days giving the name of his new employer.
			 During the limited supervision period, the employer shall be responsible for
			 all work performed by the apprentice.
(1) If
			 the applicant should fail three consecutive examinations, his status shall
			 revert back to that of an apprentice under supervision of a certified
			 electronics technician for a period of not less than six months after which
			 time he may again apply to the board to be tested for a certified electronics
			 technician license. The above conditions shall prevail for an apprentice
			 licensed under this paragraph until he passes the state requirements for a
			 certified electronics technician license.
(2) Applicants with prior experience in
			 electronics may be enrolled in the apprentice program at the level of their
			 past experience. Temporary permission to work may be granted pending approval
			 of the applicant and his employer by the state apprenticeship council.
(3) An apprentice license may be
			 issued to an applicant enrolled in a program other than that offered by the
			 state board of education and the state apprenticeship council provided such
			 program is at least equal in content and requirements to the state program and
			 such program is approved by said board and council.
(4) A part time apprentice license may be
			 issued to an applicant who submits proof of successful completion of a
			 television repair course approved by the state board of education and the state
			 apprenticeship council, or who has the training and experience to qualify for a
			 license but has not worked in the television repair field for one year or
			 longer prior to the time of his application, and who wishes to complete the
			 required one year of practical experience on a part time basis. For purposes of
			 a part time license, one year shall be computed on the basis of two thousand
			 hours of work. Such work shall be subject to the provisions of paragraph (g)
			 with respect to limited supervision.
(5) All apprentice licenses issued by the
			 board prior to July 1, 1970, shall continue in effect provided the requirements
			 of the board in effect at the time the license was issued are met.
