Draft a request for the current advancement policy and its revision date; leave unverified gates UNKNOWN. Fictional exercise (invented sponsor, no actual reply): an apprentice at Juniper Valley Apprenticeship Committee holds an undated policy copy. Their work-learning log is submitted; a classroom unit is assigned; no reviewer or decision is recorded. Before reading the model, fill: Policy revision, Gates, Work-learning status, Classroom status, Reviewer, Decision status.
How to check it
Done right: Worked answer from the givens: Policy revision = UNKNOWN (copy undated); Gates = UNKNOWN; Work-learning = submitted (not reviewed); Classroom = assigned (not completed); Reviewer = UNKNOWN; Decision = unresolved. Changed condition: fictional Juniper Valley confirms in writing only that a "classroom unit review" gate exists. Retry: close only that gate's existence (dated); policy revision, other gates, reviewer, credits, qualifying hours and completion stay UNKNOWN, and the decision stays unresolved.
Common mistake: First error: adding a gate such as "advance after the log is submitted" or marking status "advanced" because the log is current. Correction: remove the invented gate, record submitted as submitted, and keep Decision unresolved. A confirmed gate name is not a review, a score or an advancement.

Create separate draft fields for work learning, classroom progress and the next review question.Source
Ask the program sponsor who confirms each gate and which record supports that decision.Source
