(a) An applicant for certification as an approved online
course provider must have at least three years of experience in providing
online course instruction. This experience must be through web-based
technologies and must include the presentation of course material
and the provision of student examinations. Uploaded video presentations
alone are not sufficient to establish such experience.
(b) The applicant must submit verifiable documentation
of the online course instruction experience required in subsection
(a) and an affidavit attesting to the accuracy and validity of the
documentation.
(c) If an incomplete approved online course provider
application is received, the department will notify the applicant
in writing the application is incomplete and specify the information
needed to complete the application. The additional information must
be submitted to the department within 90 days of the date of the deficiency
notice. Failure to provide the required documentation within the specified
time period will result in termination of the application.
(d) In addition to the provisions of this section,
a person applying for a certificate as an approved online course provider
must comply with all standards and requirements applicable to the
eligibility and application procedure for a license to carry a handgun,
as detailed in Subchapter B of this chapter.
(e) A current qualified handgun instructor who meets
the qualifications for certification as an approved online course
provider may obtain certification as an approved online course provider
by submitting the appropriate application and fee. The instructor
course is not required if the individual is currently an active qualified
handgun instructor.
