Woburn Electrical School of Code & Theory

POLICIES

​

Attendance: The school requires attendance to complete all learning objectives 237 CMR 22:00 laid out by the Board of Examiners of Electricians. If a student fails to complete the required hours they must not move. Each class is initially set with 10% more hours than required. Attendance is recorded in clock hours in the class room. Students only get credit for the time they are there.

 

Satisfactory Progress: Students review their progress monthly with an exam review process. Every student, regardless of grade, will receive a written academic progress report at least once during the span of the class or course. The school will maintain a copy of this report in the student’s file. Students may request a review of their record at any time with the Director.

 

Complaints: All complaints are brought to the instructor and/or the Director, verbally first; if the complainant is not satisfied, he should put it in writing to the owner/director.  Per 230 CMR 15.07(2) a school shall respond to written student complaints in writing within ten days from when the complaint was submitted to the school. This policy must also indicate that students may contact DPL at any time with a complaint, DPL’s contact information occupational.schools@mass.gov or 617-701-8719.
