assessments of the course and documenting
the assessments to the board during review.
Upon completion of each course, instructors
must submit student evaluations of the
instructor's teaching to the sponsor.

The board shall keep records of the
applications of all approved and denied
courses. All continuing education courses shall
be reviewed after the first year. The board
must set a timetable for recurring review after
the first year. For each review, the sponsor
must submit its learning assessments to the
board to show that the course is teaching the
learning outcomes that were approved by the
board.

A list of licensees who successfully complete
the course shall be maintained by the sponsor
and transmitted to the board following the
presentation of the course and the completed
student evaluations of the instructors.
Evaluations are available to chief law
enforcement officers. The board shall establish
a data retention schedule for the information
collected in this section.
