Sec. 21.124  Combination course.

    (a) General. A combination course is a course which combines 
training on the job with training in school. For the purpose of VA 
vocational rehabilitation, a course will be considered to be a 
combination course, if the student spends full-time on the job and one 
or more times a week also attends school on a part-tme basis. A veteran 
may pursue the components of a combination course in the following 
manner:
    (1) Concurrent school and on-job training;
    (2) Primarily on-job with some related instruction in school;
    (3) In a school as a preparatory course to entering on-job training; 
or
    (4) First training on-job followed by the school portion.
    (b) Cooperative course. A cooperative course is a special type of 
combination course which usually:
    (1) Has an objective which the student attains primarily through 
school instruction with the on-job portion being supplemental to the 
school course;
    (2) Is at the college or junior college level although some 
cooperative courses are offered at post-secondary schools which do not 
offer a college degree or at secondary schools;
    (3) Requires the student to devote at least one-half of the total 
training period to the school portion of the course; and
    (4) Includes relatively long periods each of training on the job and 
in school such as a full term in school followed by a full term on the 
job.
