The one-year apprenticeship or experience required by section 90-02-02-01.2 must have occurred during the three years immediately preceding the application date. Suitable vocational training may substitute for the one-year apprenticeship or experience requirement with department approval and at the department's sole discretion. If the experience was obtained in another state under a nonlicenseholder water well contractor, pump and pitless unit installer, geothermal system installer, or monitoring well contractor, the department may approve equivalent experience if the department is satisfied in its sole discretion that the experience was equivalent to working under the direct supervision of a licenseholder in North Dakota.
