WAC 314-17-040. May an 18 to 20 year-old student who takes and passes a class 12 training course upgrade to a class 12 permit upon turning 21 without retaking the training course?

Yes. (1) An 18, 19, or 20 year-old person may take a class 12 training course and pass the corresponding exam; however, they may be issued only a class 13 permit. Upon turning 21 years of age, such a person who obtains a class 13 permit after taking and passing a class 12 training course and exam may request that a provider or trainer upgrade their class 13 permit to a class 12 permit. (2) The expiration date of an upgraded class 12 permit shall be the same expiration date as the original class 13 permit.
