The Drivers Training Facility staff will set 4 days/time frame, prior to the start date of the Instructors School, to allow potential student to qualify for admittance into the Instructors School. - Individuals that do not prequalify or fail to meet the prequalification standard, as administered by the MPCTC Drivers Training Staff, may not be permitted into the course of instruction. Each potential attendee will be given 2 opportunities to successfully pass the prerequisite qualification course. The two prequalification attempts may be performed on the same day or on a separate date of the 4 predetermined dates. - The maximum number of potential students that will be permitted to meet the prequalification standard is set at 2 per agency per class. In the event that an Agency’s desired attendee does not successfully complete the prerequisite, that agency may substitute another potential attendee as long as they meet the standard on the prescribed days/times outlined. - Students on the wait list are welcome to complete the prequalification so to be approved if seats should become available.
