Requirements:

  1. Students must be enrolled in the certificate program to be eligible to receive the special program recognition and certificate. Students who have completed required courses at Wilson Community College within two years of the announced start-up date may apply for advanced standing.

  2. Students must complete all program requirements within three years of their start date in the program. The starting date will be determined by the first day of the first course taken after acceptance in the program.

  3. Students may apply for credit acceptance of equivalent courses completed successfully at another training facility in North Carolina, with the following stipulations:

    2. Credit acceptance is limited to the following courses: Basic Traffic Accident Investigation, DWI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing, Drug Enforcement for Patrol Officers, and Radar Operator Certification. This allows for 27% program recognition of non-Wilson Community College training.

    3. The student will be required to provide a transcript, certificate or other official record documenting the course title, hours, date, time and place of the training. The student will provide documentary evidence of course content in the form of a student manual, course outline or other documentary evidence acceptable to the Wilson Community College In-Service Coordinator.
