Section 314-17-065 - How does a provider receive certification for its trainers?

(1) To certify one of its trainers, a provider must complete a form provided by and returned to the board.

(2) A provider will contract only with a trainer who:

(a) Has a minimum of two years of post-secondary education in, or equivalent years of work experience in, one or more of the following fields:

(i) Training;

(ii) Education;

(iii) Law;

(iv) Law enforcement;

(v) Substance abuse rehabilitation; or

(b) Holds a class 12 permit;

(c) Meets the criminal history requirements (see WAC 314-17-070); and

(d) Meets the continuing education requirements (see WAC 314-17-050).

(3) The board may consider any information pertaining to a trainer's certification in any state, including any certification suspensions or revocations in the past five years. The board, at its discretion and in consideration of public safety, may also consider criminal history (see WAC 314-17-070), administrative violations, patterns of misconduct, and other applicable occurrences or circumstances when deciding to approve, deny, suspend or revoke a trainer's certification.

(4) The board will respond to a request for trainer certification within 30 calendar days of receipt of a request, and then will either certify an applicant trainer or explain why an applicant trainer fails to meet the qualifications.

(5) A trainer may not begin to teach a training course until a trainer receives their certification from the board.

(6) A trainer must teach a provider's training program in its entirety as approved, and may not change the method of presentation or course content without approval from a provider and the board.

(7) It is the responsibility of a provider to keep the board informed of its current trainers. In this effort, a provider must notify the board within 72 hours of the termination of a trainer or within 72 hours of when a provider is notified that a trainer has terminated their employment.
