Flashpoint Q&A's

  LOG-IN TO FLASHPOINT  


  FOR APPRENTICES THAT ENTER THEIR OJT HOURS  

From your Dashboard in Flashpoint:

  • Click My Education > Work Reports > then click Enter New Report.
  • Select the correct month (“period”) / year. The days of the month are then listed, as well as the work categories (Click on Show category descriptions, for an explanation of categories).
  • Enter the number of hours you were trained on the job by a Journeyman or Master in each box for the correct day and work category. Each month should have a variety of categories used. Do not report on the job training hours for holidays or vacation dates, if you were not being trained on the job those dates.
  • You can log hours daily, weekly or monthly and just hit Save Report until the month is complete. If you wish to review the month again, or make changes before submitting the hours, just click Edit Hours on the top right of the page when you sign in again.
  • Once you click Save at the bottom of the page and then Submit for a month (“period”) at the top right of the page, the hours for that month can no longer be edited and an email will go to the education contact at your company for review and approval or rejection. You will also receive an email confirming this action.
  • After the education contact approves the apprentice’s hours, you will receive another email letting you know the hours have been approved.
  • Hours submitted by an apprentice must be approved by the education contact within 30 days. If you do not receive an email confirming approval or rejection within 5 days of submitting hours to your employer, we recommend contacting your company education contact to complete the process. You can confirm if the hours were approved by viewing the APPROVED column in Flashpoint.
  • All OJT hours must be entered into Flashpoint, saved and submitted by an apprentice within the original 90 days of the work being completed. This applies if the apprentice enters their own hours or if an employer enters hours for an apprentice into Flashpoint.
  • Should your employer reject the hours submitted (usually due to entering dates you did not actually work on the job, like a holiday or vacation, etc.), you will be sent an email. The rejected month must then be edited and resubmitted by the apprentice within the original 90 days allowed.
