| (1) No school may be accredited or operate under commission
approval for the sole purpose of offering courses of instruction designed
to prepare its students for the state examination for any license issued by
the commission. A school may offer an examination preparation course on a
non-credit basis, provided the requirements of subsection (h) of this section
have been met.
(2) Once an examination preparation course has been approved
by the commission, the school may offer the course until the course approval
expires. The approval for a course expires December 31 of the odd-numbered
year following approval of the course. A school may apply for approval to
offer a subsequent course no earlier than September 1 of the year in which
the course approval expires. If the course was approved by the commission
prior to the effective date of this subsection, the approval of the course
expires December 31, 2001, and the school may apply for approval of another
course beginning September 1, 2001. The commission is not required to approve
a course sooner than 30 days after the filing of an application for course
approval.
(3) Schools shall update examination preparation course materials
in the manner required by §535.65 of this title (Relating to Change in
Ownership or Operation of School; Presentation of Courses, Advertising, and
Records).
(4) In the presentation of examination preparation courses,
schools must ensure that the students are advised of the confidentiality of
the contents of examinations administered for the commission and of the punishments
for a violation of §535.61 of this title (Relating to Examinations).
