Such tests may be administered by a community and technical college, a private occupational school, or any other institution which offers courses in the skills required, which courses are approved by either the state board for community colleges and occupational education or the private occupational school division.(4)
Any employer, minor, minor’s parent or guardian, school official, or youth employment specialist may request an exemption, as provided in subsection (3) of this section, from a provision of this article.
