Conn. Agencies Regs. § 7-294e-10
Applicants for instructor certification shall be denied such certification if they fail to meet the requirements of Sections 7-294e-7 through 7-294e-13, inclusive. However, in instances where the applicant presents a unique combination of education and experience which the Council or its agent deems to be the equivalent of the experience and education required for certification (and providing all other requirements for certification have been met), the certificate may be granted. Decisions of the Instructor Certification Unit shall be final in cases where denial is based on the applicant's failure to meet the requirements of Section 7-294e-7 to Section 7-294e-13, inclusive. If certification based on equivalent education and experience is denied, an applicant may request review of such denial. In such cases, the MPTC shall request its Action Committee to review the application in question and advise the Council whether it feels the applicant should be awarded certification. After receiving the recommendations of the Action Committee, the Council shall be responsible for the final decision as to the issuance or denial of the certificate.
