By the way, regarding the OP. I have since found out this instructor is not returning emails or phone calls either. Must be more than one doing this.

I had two of his students in my class last Sat.

The fact that he refused the refund might put him past accidental and into intentional fraud. Who knows, his may not be allowed to recertify if this is brought to the attention of the DPS. I remember them talking about integrity more than once during class.

If he refused to refund their money it sounds like a fraud or theft offense.

I generally don't like cliques, but "what goes around comes around."

I don't like cliques or cliches.

Cliché - I knew that didn't look right.

Auto-correct is my worst enema.

So is Wayne N5WD above. We need to have a HAM - CHL convention!

Although not a convention, we will have an Allstar node for the Forum in the not to distant future.

Chas.

Is nobody worried about OpSec, posting your station call sign or using it as your handle here?

Not something I would do with a bit of information so easily linked back to my address. YMMV, of course.

I've recently seen licensees on FCC.gov listed with PO Boxes only, so I guess that's an option for hams. Although others may not agree, I'm so easily found that I don't worry about it. If they're friendly we'll have coffee, if not, we'll have a fight. Either way, it'll be entertaining.

I am sure that it was an honest mistake and there was no intent to defraud anyone. I can see where someone would forget that their instructor certificate is a two year renewal expiring on Dec. 31st, vs their CHL expiring on their birthday.

Anyway, I have been totally unsuccessful in finding any words on the website or in the Admin rules addressing this. I suspect they are stuck with a do-over. I was hoping that it was as simple as a re-issue of the CHL-100 after the renewal process was complete.

I was just contacted by a group who attended a CHL class approximately two months ago. They are all getting notifications back from the DPS rejecting their CHL-100 due to the fact that the instructor's certification is expired. They are asking me for advice, so I am attempting to research possible solutions.

I have looked in the Admin rules and cannot find this issue specifically addressed. If the instructor renews, can he then re-issue the CHL-100 or will the class have to be in effect re-done?

I advised them that the only thing I could do would be do the class over...completely, as though it never happened. I also advised I would have to charge due to my expenses of printing, renting the classroom, and range. I feel their pain, but I cannot afford to lose money on the deal.
