Recordkeeping: Training providers should maintain records listing the dates courses were presented, the names of the individual course attendees, the names of those students successfully completing each course, and the number of training certificates issued to each successful student. These records should be:

  • maintained for a minimum of five years after the date an individual participated in a training program offered by the training provider, and
  • available and provided upon the student's request or as mandated by law.

10. Program quality control: The Training Director should conduct or direct an annual written audit of the training program.

  • The Training Provider should document, approve, and implement any program modifications to address deficiencies.
  • The audit and the program modification documents should be maintained at the training facility.
