The department will consider all of the information received
from the training provider in its application for a provider number, including
documents provided pursuant to WAC
296-19A-560. The department will
review this information to ensure that the training provider provides services
that are consistent with chapter 296-19A WAC and
RCW

consider the following factors:
(1)
Whether the training provider adequately supervises its instructors to ensure
that they are qualified and provide appropriate training and
instruction.
(2) Whether any
students have been injured as a result of the training provider's failure to
use adequate safety protocols.
(3)
Whether any complaints have been filed by current or former students against
the training provider or any of its instructors, and, if so, whether any of
these complaints have merit.
(4)
Whether the training provider or any of its instructors have ever been
convicted of a crime, and, if so, the nature of the crime.
(5) Whether there is any other information
indicating the
training provider does not provide services to its students in a
manner consistent with the objectives of chapter
296-19A WAC or
RCW
51.32.096.
(6) In addition training providers preparing
students for employment must address the following factors:
(a) Whether any of the training provider's
programs allow a student to obtain an educational or occupational credential
awarded upon successful completion of program, and, if so, the type of
credential(s) awarded;
(b) Whether
any of the training provider's programs have clearly identified program
objectives, such as information regarding specific job titles the student will
qualify for on completion of training, and the projected wages and benefits of
those jobs;
(c) Training provider's
job placement rate, including job title, wages, and benefits obtained by
graduates; and
(d) Whether the
program achieved at least a 30 percent completion rate and a 50 percent job
placement rate in the three quarters following graduation for the most recent
fiscal year.
