§ 5.232. Classroom instructor approval process.
(a) Applicants shall attend a 2-day mandatory training session in Harrisburg before the PLCB will issue a notice of authorization. An applicant who does not attend and complete the 2-day training session will be disqualified from consideration as a classroom instructor.
(b) The PLCB shall issue a notice of authorization to those applicants who have successfully completed the training session. The period of authorization shall be 1 year from the date of issuance of the notice of authorization. The classroom instructor is required to successfully complete a probationary period.
(1) Within the first 3 months of probation, the PLCB will evaluate the classroom instructor at least once. There are five possible evaluation ratings: Outstanding, Commendable, Satisfactory, Needs Improvement or Unsatisfactory.
(i) The classroom instructor must receive an ‘‘Outstanding,’’ ‘‘Commendable’’ or ‘‘Satisfactory’’ rating to successfully complete the probationary period.
(ii) If the classroom instructor receives a ‘‘Needs Improvement’’ rating, the classroom instructor will be re-evaluated by the PLCB at any time within the next 3 months. Upon re-evaluation, the classroom instructor must receive an ‘‘Outstanding,’’ ‘‘Commendable’’ or ‘‘Satisfactory’’ rating to successfully complete the probationary period. If the classroom instructor does not, the PLCB will terminate the classroom instructor’s notice of authorization.
(iii) If the classroom instructor receives an ‘‘Unsatisfactory’’ rating, the PLCB will terminate the classroom instructor’s notice of authorization.
(iv) ‘‘Termination’’ will be treated the same as deauthorization for purposes of § 5.236 (relating to deauthorization of classroom instructors).
