Self-Enrolled Course Recommended Retake Approach
• If the instructor candidate does not pass the course final exam on the first attempt, the
candidate should review the training course content and attempt the course final exam again.

• If the instructor candidate does not pass the second attempt, the candidate should contact their
ASC Academy to discuss the options for taking a formal instructor training course at an ITC
Academy or additional activities to prepare the instructor candidate for the last attempt.

• If the instructor candidate does not pass the third attempt, the candidate should engage their
ASC Academy to determine the best next step. This could be to attend an instructor training
course delivered by an ITC Academy, attend ITC or ASC Academy instructor professional
development (IPD) sessions, or other appropriate option.
