• the apprentice fails to meet the terms and conditions set out by the Registrar after the apprentice is granted an exception from the educational requirements for eligibility,
• there has been an irregularity (i.e. cheating) in the taking of an assessment or on-the-job instruction requirements of the apprenticeship education program,
• the registration in the apprenticeship education program was improperly entered into due to an administrative or other error,
• the registration in the apprenticeship education program was entered into through misrepresentation or fraudulent means,
• the apprentice ceases to participate in the apprenticeship education program,
• the apprentice ceases to work in the trade, 
• the apprentice cannot be located or contacted by AIT, or
