program which substantially meets the fundamental standards of the 

Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training of the U.S. Department of Labor; 

and

    (b) Such time does not involve productive work or performance of the 

apprentice's regular duties. If the above criteria are met the time 

spent in such related supplemental training shall not be counted as 

hours worked unless the written agreement specifically provides that it 

is hours worked. The mere payment or agreement to pay for time spent in 

related instruction does not constitute an agreement that such time is 

hours worked.
