Remedial training and a re-examination will be required if a Full Service Operator fails to pass.

All training and information review will be documented according to Department procedures. 807.2.2 LESS THAN FULL ACCESS OPERATORS (INQUIRY ONLY) Any employee or operator who uses CLETS to make inquiries only into the system is considered a Less Than Full Access Operator.
