3-Day Rule for 30-Hour Courses

Per TREC rules, a 30-hour course exam should not be accessed until the required amount of hours have been spent in the course. A “day” is considered 12-hours, therefore a 30-hour course exam should not be accessed until 2.5 days after you started the course. If you are taking multiple 30-hour courses, each subsequent exam should be 2.5 days after you finished the previous exam. You may take multiple exams in a day BUT only after the requisite time period elapses. For example, you could take exams for courses 1,2,3 on the 8th day or any day after the 8th day.

Note: TREC states that the required amount of time must be spent in each course. Individual courses can’t be completed in less than 3 days.

All final exams for 30-hour courses require some form of proctoring. The following are acceptable third-party proctors:

(A) employees at official testing or learning/tutoring centers;
(B) librarians at a school, university, or public library;
(C) college, university, secondary, or elementary school – Administrators, faculty, teachers, or academic advisors
(D) clergy who are affiliated with a specific temple, synagogue, mosque, or church
(E) members of the court system – judges, justice of the peace, magistrates, and prosecutors.
(F) law Enforcement Officers – Sergeant, lieutenant, or captain
