training shall review the schedule of training to help
develop optimum schedules to minimize student pipeline
delays between courses.
1.3. Accelerated Training Program
Students with previous education or job experience may have
the student pipeline shortened. Accelerated training
provides an opportunity for these students to accelerate
through the course. In courses where appropriate,
accelerated training should be instituted and screening
methods established to identify students for acceleration.
Possible methods for screening students include:
Analyze the results of a pretest
Allow student to request acceleration
Instructor may recommend acceleration
The LS/DET/Participating Activity CO/OIC an assigned
CCA/CCMM duty is responsible for determining which courses
will have accelerated training programs. Suggested factors
to consider when making this determination include: nature
of the training (high-risk), class scheduling (class/course
are available to accelerate the student into), number and
types of laboratory training (some labs require the
complete student complement in order to operate). The
deciding factors are whether the student is capable of
accelerating through training, if the situation is
conducive to acceleration, and cost effectiveness. When
the course is multi-sited, all courses will have
accelerated training programs or request a waiver from the
CCA/CCMM.
In an accelerated training program, the course supervisor
should review the student's qualifications, interview the
student, and make a decision on the request for
acceleration. LS/DET/Participating Activity may use a
board to review the student's qualifications, interview the
student, and make a decision on the request. Once
acceleration begins, the student should be allowed to
continue as long as all tests are completed successfully.
If the course is completed through acceleration, the
enrollment record shall indicate that the student is a
graduate of the course. Students accelerated through
courses that contain skill-type learning objectives must
successfully complete the performance tests in addition to
the knowledge tests.
