How are OJT and RSI hours tracked? Departments are required to track both On-the-Job Training (OJT) and Related Supplemental Instruction (RSI) hours. Reports are submitted quarterly and verified through L&I to maintain accurate apprenticeship records.

What forms are required for reporting? Form F100-518-000 is used for reporting OJT and RSI hours, and Form F100-021-000 is used for any Change of Status such as upgrades or completions. Both are official Department of Labor & Industries documents.

Who signs the Apprenticeship Agreement? Each agreement is signed by the apprentice, the employing fire department’s authorized training agent, and the WSFF JATC sponsor representative. This establishes a formal three-party commitment under state apprenticeship law.

Upon completion, apprentices receive a Certificate of Completion issued by the Washington State Apprenticeship and Training Council. This certificate formally recognizes them as journey-level firefighters.s the program?

Are apprentices covered by insurance during training? Yes. Apprentices are covered under Washington State Industrial Insurance for all supervised training activities, including OJT and qualifying RSI sessions.

What does “RSI” stand for? RSI means “Related Supplemental Instruction.” It refers to the classroom and online academic courses required alongside on-the-job learning to complete the apprenticeship.

What are OJT hours? OJT stands for “On-the-Job Training.” These hours are earned through direct firefighting, emergency response, and operational duties under the supervision of certified journey-level personnel.

How often are reports submitted? RSI and OJT reports are due quarterly (by April 10, July 10, October 10, and January 10). Timely reporting is required to maintain compliance and progress.
