How long should theory hours be taught per week by a licensed instructor?

A licensed instructor should provide at least 4 hours of theory instruction per week. This requirement ensures that students receive a sufficient amount of theoretical knowledge to support their practical training. The 4-hour minimum is designed to balance the need for comprehensive instruction with the ability to engage students in hands-on practice, crucial for developing the necessary skills and competencies in a technical or vocational field. This structured approach allows for a solid foundation in the principles and laws governing sanitation practices to be communicated effectively to students. The focus on a minimum time frame helps maintain educational standards and assures that students are adequately prepared for their future roles in the industry.
