STANDARD 5 - STUDENT SERVICES

SYSTEMATIC PRE-ADMISSION TESTING, INTERVIEWS, COUNSELING SERVICES, PLACEMENT, AND FOLLOW-UP PROCEDURES SHOULD BE USED.

Standard 5.1 - Pretesting

A formal pretesting program should be used to assess a student's abilities in reading, mathematics, and mechanical aptitude to evaluate and assure the student a reasonable probability of success as a CNG/LPG technician. Testing procedures and how the tests results will be used (e.g., placement, assessment of student's developmental needs, etc.) should be stated in program explanatory material.

Standard 5.2 - Pre-admission Interviews

Prior to program admission, a student should be interviewed and approved for admission.

Standard 5.3 - Student Records

Permanent records of all students, former and current, should be available, preferably in one central location, and kept confidential.

Standard 5.4 - Placement

A systematic student placement system should be used to assist program graduates to obtain employment in the automotive/CNG/LPG industry.

Standard 5.5 - Follow-up

A follow-up system should be used to determine students' employment location and for feedback regarding the efficiency, effectiveness, and appropriateness of training. The follow-up procedure should be designed to assure feedback regarding needed additions or deletions to the training curriculum, program, and tools and equipment. Follow-up of graduates employed outside of the CNG/LPG industry should indicate reasons for non-CNG/LPG employment. When applicable, this information should be used to modify the training quality and/or content.

Standard 5.6 - Legal Requirements

The training program should meet all applicable local, state, and federal requirements.
