§ 121.405 Training program and revi-

sion: Initial and final approval. 

(a) To obtain initial and final ap-

proval of a training program, or a revi-

sion to an approved training program, 
each certificate holder must submit to 
the Administrator— 

(1) An outline of the proposed pro-

gram or revision, including an outline 
of the proposed or revised curriculum, 
that provides enough information for a 
preliminary evaluation of the proposed 
training program or revised training 
program; and 

(2) Additional relevant information 

as may be requested by the Adminis-
trator. 

(b) If the proposed training program 

or revision complies with this subpart 
the Administrator grants initial ap-
proval in writing after which the cer-
tificate holder may conduct the train-
ing in accordance with that program. 
The Administrator then evaluates the 
effectiveness of the training program 
and advises the certificate holder of de-
ficiencies, if any, that must be cor-
rected. 

(c) The Administrator grants final 

approval of the training program or re-
vision if the certificate holder shows 
that the training conducted under the 
initial approval set forth in paragraph 
(b) of this section ensures that each 
person that successfully completes the 
training is adequately trained to per-
form his assigned duties. 

(d) In granting initial and final ap-

proval of training programs or revi-
sions, including reductions in pro-
grammed hours specified in this sub-
part, the Administrator considers the 
training aids, devices, methods, and 
procedures listed in the certificate 
holder’s curriculum as set forth in 
§ 121.403 that increase the quality and 
effectiveness of the teaching-learning 
process. 

If approval of reduced programmed 
hours of training is granted, the Ad-
ministrator provides the certificate 
holder with a statement of the basis for 
the approval. 

(e) Whenever the Administrator finds 

that revisions are necessary for the 
continued adequacy of a training pro-
gram that has been granted final ap-
proval, the certificate holder shall, 
after notification by the Adminis-
trator, make any changes in the pro-
gram that are found necessary by the 
Administrator. Within 30 days after the 
certificate holder receives such notice,
