Section 12.44.857. Training program review.

	(a)  The board will approve a certified nurse aide training program for a two-year period. Within two years after the date of the initial approval of a certified nurse aide training program, the board will conduct an on-site review of the training program to determine continued compliance with the requirements of 12 AAC 44.835 - 12 AAC 44.847 and 12 AAC 44.852 - 12 AAC 44.860. If the board determines that the training program complies with those requirements, the board will extend its approval of that program for another two years.  
	(b)  After the on-site review under (a) of this section, the board will notify the program provider whether the board has determined that deficiencies in the certified nurse aide training program exist because of noncompliance with 12 AAC 44.835 - 12 AAC 44.847 and 12 AAC 44.852 - 12 AAC 44.860. The program provider must provide the board with proof that those deficiencies have been corrected within 30 days after the notice of deficiency. If a program provider fails to provide proof to the board's satisfaction that the deficiencies have been corrected, and if the board determines that the seriousness of the uncorrected deficiencies supports a withdrawal of approval, the board will withdraw approval of the training program.  
	(c)  During a year in which on-site review is not scheduled, the program provider shall complete a self-evaluation form provided by the board.  
	(d)  The board will, in its discretion, conduct a review of a certified nurse aide training program if the board has reason to believe that the program does not meet the requirements of 12 AAC 44.835 - 12 AAC 44.847 or 12 AAC 44.852 - 12 AAC 44.860, and will, in its discretion, conduct unannounced visits to the program as part of the review.
