Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Course coordinators presenting, or planning to present, any
				  POST-certified course are to use the following tuition and budget requirements and
				  limits when submitting the Course Administration Information and Course Budget via
				  the EDI System. Budgets are not required if the certification request is for a
				  conference. Allowable per presentation costs for establishing tuition and course
				  budgets are as follows:
(a) Instructional
				Costs
Up to $35 per hour, except as noted below, for each hour of
				  instruction, per instructor, may be claimed. Fringe benefits and instructor
				  preparation shall be included in this amount. Up to $90 per instructional hour may
				  be approved in instances of special need for particular expertise, based upon
				  written justification from the presenter. On those limited occasions where it may be
				  necessary to obtain special expertise to provide training, the maximum of $90 per
				  instructional hour may be exceeded upon prior approval of the Executive Director.
				  Charges for instructors cannot be claimed if they are providing instruction while on
				  duty for their agency.
(b)
				Development Costs for POST-certified Courses
When POST has specifically requested development of a new course
				  or revision of an existing course, presenter development costs may be negotiated
				  with POST. When approved by the Executive Director, such costs shall be prorated as
				  a portion of tuition for an agreed-upon number of presentations.
(c) Coordination
Coordination costs may be requested based on the type of services
				  performed. Coordination is categorized as:
(1) General Coordination is the performance of
				tasks associated with the development, pre-planning, and maintenance of any
				certified course. Maintenance includes: scheduling, selecting instructors,
				eliminating duplicative subject matter, providing alternate instructors/instruction
				as necessary, allocating instructional time to each subject, evaluating instructors,
				selecting training sites, supervising support staff, and administrative reporting.
				General coordination costs may be charged at the rate of $55 per 8 hours of
				instruction but may not exceed $440 per presentation.
(2) Presentation Coordination is the performance
				of tasks related to course quality control, i.e., observing and evaluating
				instructors at the instructional site; identifying the need and arranging for the
				appearance of alternate instructors when assigned instructors are not available; and
				being responsible for the development of a positive learning environment. It is
				required that the presentation coordinator be in the classroom, or its immediate
				vicinity, to resolve problems that may arise relating to the presentation of a
				course. Approved rates for presentation coordination, per instructional hour, may
				range from $15 to $25. Rates that exceed $15 per hour must be supported by written
				justification that substantiates the higher cost of the
				coordinator.
