violator school operator, shall meet all of the following criteria in
order to be issued a traffic violator school operator's license:

requires on traffic laws, safe driving practices, operation of motor
vehicles, teaching methods and techniques, traffic violator school
statutes and regulations, and office procedures and recordkeeping.

(4) Have successfully completed an educational program of not less
than four hours. The program shall include, but is not limited to,
operator responsibilities, current laws, and the regulations in
Article 4 of Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations. The
instruction may be provided by generally accredited educational
institutions, private vocational schools, and education programs and
seminars offered by professional societies, organizations, trade
associations, and other educational and technical programs that meet
the requirements of this section.
(5) Provide a certification from the owner that the applicant has
the knowledge necessary to perform the duties of the operator.
(b) All the qualifying requirements specified in this section

thereafter submit a new application upon payment of the required fee.
