Sec. C4.20.040. Provisional Certification.

The Board may grant provisional certification to a CHA/P Training Center with Start-up Certification that is not eligible for full certification under section C4.20.030 [full certification] provided it meets all the requirements for full certification, except that it is required to score only a minimum of 80% on the Review and Approval Committee CHA Education Program Evaluation Checklist. Provisional certification shall be effective for only six months and may be renewed only one time for a total of no more than one year.
