Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. For each
				  course, the accredited lead training program shall conduct a monitored, written
				  course test at the completion of the course and a hands-on skills assessment,
				  or as an alternative, a proficiency test. Each individual must successfully
				  complete the hands-on skills assessment and receive a passing score on the
				  course test to pass any course, or successfully complete a proficiency test.
				  Refresher training programs are not required to conduct a hands-on skills
				  assessment.

				  an evaluation of the overall effectiveness of the training which shall test the
				  trainee's knowledge and retention of the topics covered during the course. An
				  oral course test may be administered in lieu of a written course test for lead
				  abatement worker only.
C. Seventy
				  percent shall be the passing score on the course test.
D. The hands-on skills assessment is an

E. The use of a proficiency test in lieu of a
				  hands-on assessment and course test may be considered by the training provider.
				  An accredited lead training program that offers a proficiency test shall assure
				  that the test consists primarily of an evaluation of the effectiveness and
				  reliability of a student's ability to conduct a particular lead-based paint
				  activity. The proficiency test must also cover all of the topics and skills
				  addressed in a particular course. For instance, a proficiency-based course in
				  inspection could involve a mix of lecture material with students conducting a
				  mock inspection in a residential dwelling with known lead-based paint
				  concentrations. The student would be evaluated on the accuracy of the results
				  of their inspection. For a training program to make use of a proficiency-based
				  course, that course must be approved by the board in the same manner as
				  approval for any other course, including fees.
