Training Requiremens
 

Since the Compliance Agent is responsible for the proper compliance with regulations, the Compliance agent should have the authority to monitor compliance with training requirements.  Allow the business to conduct training to its own standards and simply maintain records documenting that training satisfactory to the business in sufficient amount to comply with regulatory requirements was received by each registrant.  

At renewal require the registrant to provide simple documentation of the dates and amounts of training required to comply with the regulations.  More detailed documentation including a copy of the program, notes regarding the subject matter discussed and sign up sheets would be maintained in the Company files for access by DCJS upon request.

Granted this would reduce the revenue of the training schools by reducing the number of classes required, but I am unaware of any statutory or regulatory requirement to protect the revenue of licensed training schools.  If there is such a code or regulation, I would like to have my electronic security business added to that section so that my revenue need not be linked to the needs of the marketplace.
