(2) Using the standard curriculum provided by the PLCB, or an alternative curriculum approved by the PLCB, provide students with information regarding the current status of the law on issues regarding the sale or service of alcoholic beverages by licensees. Classroom instructors shall provide each student with a student manual that corresponds to the standard curriculum or an alternative curriculum approved by the PLCB.

(i) A classroom instructor shall refrain from making any material changes to the standard curriculum without being required to do so by the PLCB.

(ii) A classroom instructor shall refrain from making any material changes to an alternative curriculum without first receiving approval from the PLCB to make the proposed modifications or changes.

(iii) If the classroom instructor wants to make material changes to either the standard curriculum or an approved alternative curriculum, the classroom instructor must submit the curriculum, including the material changes, to the BAE for review and approval, in accordance with the provisions of § 5.213(b) (relating to alternative curriculum), unless the changes were required by the PLCB.

(3) Schedule training sessions in locations throughout this Commonwealth.

(4) Conduct at least two training sessions per quarter and train at least 225 students per year. Classroom instructors may request a waiver of the minimum requirements in this paragraph by sending a letter or e-mail to the PLCB.
