(a)-(n)(No change.) (o)Examination preparation courses. (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) [(e)] 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).
