    Gather documents for your application

    Gather the following documents, which you'll submit with your application form.

    1. Anticipated floor plan. We'll need a copy of a floor plan for the school. That way, we can make sure the facility is adequate to accommodate students.
    2. Equipment. Collect information about the equipment students will use during practical education. You'll need the following information:
      • Type of equipment;
      • Manufacturer;
      • Description of how the equipment will be used;
      • Year the equipment was purchased; and
      • Date of the last maintenance.
    3. Curriculum. You'll submit a copy of the school curriculum.
    4. School manual. We'll need a copy of the school manual of instruction.
    5. Instructor information. You'll provide a list of your instructors, with their names, qualifications, and teaching experience or education.
    6. Student contract. Provide a copy of the student contract required by board rule.
    7. School objectives. You'll provide a statement that describes the school's overall objectives, so you'll want to have this information on hand when you prepare the application.
    8. Refund policy. If your school has a refund policy - regardless of what it might be - you should have that on hand when you prepare the application.
    9. List of library resources. Have a list available of the textbooks and audio/visual aids you'll use for student instruction.
    10. Copies of brochures or advertising materials. Have copies of any brochures, promotional materials, or advertising you'll be using. If the advertising is in non-printed form, such as a website, you can have a list with that information.
