• Meet accreditation standards and have prior approval to run the DOCC course;
• Appoint a certified School Director who has the responsibility for running the course in accordance with Commission rules (schools may have up to two school directors at any given time);
• Submit a Pre-Delivery for each course offering 30 days prior to the start date using properly certified instructors (subject to staff approval prior to the class beginning); and
• Submit a Post-Delivery for each course offering within 10 business days of the test date for the class.
