(B) Each approved TTT program shall establish behaviorally stated objectives and measurable performance criteria for each topic area and standard listed in paragraph (A) of this rule and the pertinent portions of the appendix to this rule. The relevant objectives shall be reviewed with the participants at the beginning of each portion of the program so that each participant will understand what he or she is expected to know and to execute for successful completion of that part of the program.
(C) Each approved TTT program shall evaluate the participants in the program, except that the program is not required to evaluate participants who are enrolled in the program for the purposes of meeting the education-based exceptions to the TTT training requirements specified in paragraph (B)(3)(a), (B)(3)(b), or (B)(3)(c) or the requirements of paragraph (F)(2) of rule 3701-18-09 of the Administrative Code. The evaluation, at minimum, shall consist of a written examination and a process for evaluating training skills.

The written examination, at minimum, shall consist of thirty multiple-choice questions. The training skills evaluation process, at minimum, shall include assessment of the participant's oral presentation of a TCEP subject matter component. The presentation shall address the same component as the participant's presentation under standard VII.2 in the appendix to this rule, with any changes made as the result of critiques by faculty members and other participants. The training skills evaluation process also shall include assessment of the sample performance objectives prepared by the participant during the training skills practice portions of the program.
(D) Each approved TTT program shall develop and provide each participant with a training manual which includes resource materials useful for offering a TCEP. The manual shall include at least copies of this chapter, including appendices, selected articles which discuss current and future issues in long-term care, resource materials useful for offering a TCEP, material describing current national and state demographic trends affecting long-term care, reference material on techniques and strategies for training, sections 3721.10 to 3721.34 of the Revised Code, and a bibliography of current training reference resources.

(1) The participant attended all twenty-eight hours of instruction, including classroom instruction and training skills practice, or made up any missed portion to the satisfaction of the program administrator or a faculty member;
(2) The participant received a passing score of at least seventy per cent on the written examination given by the program; and
