A. Providers' responsibility in administering
				program: It is the responsibility of providers to ensure that they and any
				instructors employed by them are teaching an approved program.
B. Course materials: Providers shall ensure
				that each student is provided complete course materials at the beginning of
				each program. Providers who administer an on-line program shall ensure that
				each student either has electronic access to course materials or is able to
				print out course materials for quick reference after satisfactory completion of
				the program. All course materials shall be presented by instructors in a manner
				that does not indicate which material is selected for the proctored
				test.
C. Prior approval required:
				Providers must obtain prior approval from the division before changing the
				required content of an approved program.
D. Proctored tests: Proctored tests must be
				administered in person immediately after completion of a classroom program.
				Students may not have access to course materials during administration of the
				proctored test. Exam questions must be rotated on a regular basis to ensure
				exam validity and security. Providers may allow an applicant who fails the test
				to re-take it at another time in the presence of an instructor. Proctored tests
				must be graded by a certified instructor and cannot be graded by a
				student.
E. On-line tests: On-line
				tests must be available to be administered immediately after students complete
				the course or complete a particular module of the course. Exam questions must
				be rotated on a regular basis to ensure exam validity and security. Students
				may not have access to course materials during administration of the on-line
				test. Providers administering on-line tests shall provide the necessary
				security measures to the satisfaction of the division to combat the potential
				for cheating. Examples of security measures include, but are not limited to,
				shuffling exam questions each time a new exam begins, prohibit students from
				stopping and resuming the exam session, implement a reasonable time limit on
				the exam, present security questions at random throughout the exam. The results
				of the on-line test must be given to the student after completion of the
				on-line test, and providers shall provide a score report indicating wrong
				answers by referencing course content section.
F. ADA compliance: Providers and instructors
				are required to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and
				ensure that students with disabilities are provided with reasonable
				accommodation for instructional and learning purposes to the extent required by
				law.
G. Administration of on-line
				programs: Providers who administer an on-line program without the presence of a
				live instructor must ensure the following:
(1)
				a secure login process is in place to confirm the identity of the person taking
				the course;
(2) students may not be
				allowed to fast-forward through the instruction portion of the
				course;
(3) students must have
				adequate access to a help desk or customer service to resolve technical
				problems without delaying the flow of instruction, as well as access to a
				person who can answer substantive questions that may arise in the course of the
				training within 72 hours of the student asking the question;
(4) no advertisements appear during course
				instruction; and
(5) students
				either have electronic access to course materials or are able to print out
				course materials for quick reference after satisfactory completion of the
				on-line program as required by these rules.
