Section 750. Grading

All grades, reports, and records will be submitted to the Department of Fire Programs within 15 working days following the completion of the course. The procedure for grading will be as follows:

1. All written examinations shall include a minimum of two questions for each hour of mandatory instruction. This requirement likewise includes the classroom instruction on performance-oriented subject matter; however, for those subjects which exceed five hours of instruction, 10 questions will suffice as an acceptable minimum;

2. All students shall attain a grade of 85% to satisfactorily complete mandatory training, and shall be tested at the mid-term and course final examination. Any student who does not attain 85% will be allowed one retest; and

3. Performance testing, when utilized, will be graded on a satisfactory or unsatisfactory basis. A satisfactory rating on all performance testing will be required to satisfactorily complete the school. The determination of satisfactory or unsatisfactory performance on any performance test will be determined by the instructor administering the test.
