  • How to check it

    Done right: The worksheet has separate tenure and verified-hours results, with an evidence reference for each.

    Common mistake: Treating extra hours as a substitute for the two-year license period removes a separate eligibility gate.

  • How to check it

    Done right: The case shows a 400-hour shortfall and marks the tenure gate separately as satisfied for this exercise. Worked result: tenure row = satisfied for this exercise (3 years); verified-hours row = 12,000 - 11,600 = 400 short, requirement not met; result = planning only, TDLR makes the final decision. Retry result: tenure row unchanged; verified hours stay 11,600 and the shortfall stays 400; the 500 reported hours go to the unresolved column as reported, unverified, with next action = verification from that period's supervising Master.

    Common mistake: Declaring the candidate eligible because the license is old enough overlooks the missing supervised hours. First-error correction: tenure closes only the tenure row; the hours row stays 400 short. In the changed case, adding 500 to reach 12,100 and marking the hours requirement met is the same error: a newly reported amount is not verified hours, and even verified totals remain subject to TDLR review.

  • How to check it

    Done right: Each period has its own supervising-Master reference, and missing verification is visible before a total is relied on.

    Common mistake: One supervisor's signature is used to cover periods supervised by other Masters.

Planning task

Check both Master eligibility gates: evidence task

Prepare a Master eligibility gap sheet using the fictional case above or your own private redacted totals.

Evidence to keep: One sheet with separate tenure and hours gates, supervisor-verification gaps, and an unresolved-questions column.

  • The fictional case calculates the 400-hour gap correctly.
  • A planning result is not presented as TDLR approval.
  • Any real names and license identifiers remain private.
