(e) A trainee who has complied with Rule
				  .0604(e) of this Subchapter in a scheduled delivery of any Detention Officer
				  Certification Course and has demonstrated satisfactory competence in each
				  required motor-skill or performance area of the course curriculum but has
				  failed to achieve the minimum score of 70 percent on any of the four units of
				  the Commission's comprehensive written examination may request the Director to
				  authorize a re-examination of the trainee in those units for which he or she
				  has failed to make a passing score of 70 percent as follows:
(1) A trainee's request for re-examination
				  shall be made in writing on the Commission's form within 30 days after the
				  original examination and shall be received by the Division before the
				  expiration of the trainee's probationary certification as a detention
				  officer.

				  for re-examination shall include the favorable recommendation of the school
				  director who administered the trainee's Detention Officer Certification

				  examination.
(4) A trainee shall be
				  assigned in writing by the Division a place, time, and date for
				  re-examination.
(5) Should the
				  trainee on re-examination not achieve the prescribed minimum score of 70 on the
				  unit re-examination, the trainee must enroll and successfully complete the
				  unit(s) he or she failed upon re-examination in a subsequent course offering
				  within 180 days of the second failure before further examination may be
				  permitted. The trainee's failure to complete the course offering within 180
				  days shall require the trainee to complete an entire delivery of the Detention
				  Officer Certification Course.
