TSCI Training Policies
 

Policy on Faxed Registrations

If the requested orientation date is at least one week into the future the fax registration form may be mailed. If some names of trainees are indefinite at the time of registration a reasonable number of un designated spots may be reserved but must be faxed at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to orientation date.

No Show Policy

There will be a $25 "No-Show" fee if not cancelled before 3:00pm of the business day, prior to the day of training.

I.D. Policy

Policies on Special Assistance

Non-readers:
TSCI accepts registrations for persons who are unable to read or who have reading comprehension difficulty - specifically, people who must have tests read to them. At no extra charge, we can have one of our classroom assistants provide the service. The trainee may request this help, but only after hearing a clear announcement by the instructor that a passing grade achieved with reading assistance results in the awarding of an ID badge which identifies the worker as a non-reader. The trainee must also understand that contractors often deny employment to non-readers because many plants do not accept them. This training is not accepted by other ARSC members.

Non-English:
TSCI provides training in Spanish. The badge earned by a trainee who receives interpreter service is labeled "Non-English". Such registrants are informed that some plants do not allow workers in their plants who cannot read English. This training is not accepted by other ARSC members.

Hearing Impaired:
TSCI will accept registration of a hearing impaired person, provided the enrollee can personally arrange for an interpreter at his/her own expense. The interpreter must first undergo "Initial Orientation" and achieve a passing grade. He/she will then be allowed to accomplish the interpreting - but may not assist while the trainee is taking the written test.

Policy on Failed Evaluations

It is the policy of the TSCI that people who fail a course evaluation (any subject/course) must re-take the training program and evaluation. After seven calendar days the person may re-take the training program, but the company/person will be assessed the appropriate course fee. If the person fails the evaluation a second time, the person would not be allowed to take that the class or evaluation for thirty (30) days. If the person fails the evaluation a third time, the person would not be allowed to take the test for 90 days.
