Grading System

Students will be tested and receive a letter grade after the completion of each theory course. Tests are typically graded during class, and results recorded on the student's individual grade sheet.

  • Letter Grades:
  • 90% to 100% = "A" Excellent
  • 80% to 89% = "B" Good
  • 70% to 79% = "C" Average
  • 60% to 69% = "D" Needs to Retake Test
  • 0% to 59% = "F" Failed

Students need to retake all tests with scores below 70%. Students must maintain a "C" average for successful progression and graduation.

Overall grades are determined on the basis of the student's attitude and ability to perform elements of the course curriculum: approximately 25% written tests, 50% attendance, and 25% practical performance skills.

Instructor Training students will be assessed at 50% and 100% of class attendance.
