Under what condition can an apprentice receive credit for time served during a previous registration?

The condition under which an apprentice can receive credit for time served during a previous registration is tied to their professional conduct. If the apprentice’s previous registration was not suspended for unprofessional conduct, they are eligible to receive credit for the time served. This ensures that only those who have maintained professional standards and ethical practices within the field can benefit from their prior training and experience.

It's important to note that other options, while they might seem relevant, do not directly pertain to the eligibility criteria for receiving credit based on prior registration status. For example, simply completing a number of embalmings, applying within a certain timeframe, or meeting financial obligations does not safeguard against past unprofessional behavior, which is a critical factor in maintaining the integrity of the profession. Therefore, the emphasis is placed on the apprentice's prior conduct in the field as a primary determinant for receiving credit.
