Currentness
(a) A traffic violator school instructor shall meet the requirements of Vehicle Code section 11206 and be licensed by the department before engaging in traffic violator school instruction, except as provided in Vehicle Code section 11206(c).
(b) A traffic violator school instructor license authorizes the licensee to perform instructional services only for the specific school named on the license.
(c) A traffic violator school instructor may perform instructional services for more than one school; however, all of the affected schools, including public schools or agencies, shall be fully aware of each school employing the instructor and the instructor shall possess a valid license for each school, except as provided in Vehicle Code section 11206(c).
(d) In addition to instructional services, a traffic violator school instructor, including public school instructors, shall perform the following:
(1) Ensure that the classroom standards described in Sections 345.34, and 345.36, if applicable, are maintained at all times during the entire course.
(2) Post all signs required by the department (Section 345.36(b)(7) and (9) of this Article, and Vehicle Code section 11202(e)) in each classroom prior to commencing instruction.
(3) Maintain evidence of licensure at all times while performing instructional services. Possession of the instructor identification card, described in Section 345.06(h), shall be sufficient to meet this requirement.
(4) Follow the school's departmental approved lesson plan at all times while conducting the class.
(e) Any individual who qualifies as an instructor pursuant to Vehicle Code section 11206 may apply to be licensed by the department as an instructor by filing a completed application with the department at any field office of the department. A list of offices can be obtained on the department's website at www.dmv.ca.gov. A completed application shall contain:
(1) The application fee;
(2) An Application for Traffic Violator School Operator and Instructor License, form OL 710 (Rev. 3/2011),

(1) There is no apparent reason for the application to be refused or disapproved.
(2) The employing school is currently licensed. If the employing school has not yet been licensed, the instructor's temporary permit or license shall be issued when the owner's permit or license is issued.
(h) Following the final review of the application, a license and an identification card shall be issued to all applicants who meet the requirements for licensure. An instructor license shall be maintained at the school business office and the identification card shall be in the possession of the instructor at all times while conducting classes. A traffic violator school instructor license, when issued, is valid for a period of three years from the date of issuance of the temporary permit or, if no permit is issued, from the date of issuance of the license, unless suspended or revoked by the department.
(i) If the department determines that the applicant is not qualified, pursuant to any applicable statute or code, the department shall notify the applicant in writing that the license is refused. The notice of refusal shall include:
(1) The reason or basis for the refusal.
