What is the minimum frequency for examination classes as directed by the proper authority?

• A. Once every three calendar years
• B. Upon request
• C. Once a year
• D. Once every two years

Answer: (A)

The requirement focuses on how often examination classes must be held, as dictated by the proper authority. The least frequent cadence allowed is once every three calendar years. This means you must conduct an examination class at least once within any three-year span; going longer than three years without one would be outside the mandated minimum.

This cadence provides a predictable, safety-minded interval for refresher training while not imposing more frequent timing than necessary. Options like once a year or once every two years are more frequent than the minimum required, and “upon request” doesn’t establish a fixed schedule, which could lead to gaps.
