Sec. 23. Correctional certification. The Board shall require correctional interns to undertake, at a minimum, the same training requirements as established for correctional officers under the Illinois Police Training Act.

The correctional intern certificate shall be issued to the trainee following the successful completion of the course.
The graduate correctional intern, if not employed as a correctional officer within 2 years after issuance of the correctional intern certificate, must then meet the requirements of the Illinois Police Training Act upon employment.
