in a safe and comfortable environment conducive to learning.
    (b) Have visual aids for realism, including simulators where 
appropriate, which are modern and well maintained and sufficient for the 
number of students to be accommodated.
    (c) Give appropriate written or practical examinations in the course 
material to each student of such a degree of difficulty that a student

would pass, on the first attempt, an examination prepared by the Coast

for which the student is being trained.
    (d) Keep for at least one year after the end of each student's 
enrollment:

report of such test; and

allow the Coast Guard to:
    (1) Inspect its facilities, equipment, and records, including

evaluation and improvement;
    (3) Assign personnel to observe or participate in the course of 
instruction; and

demonstrations.
