(e) Each certified vehicle inspector must qualify, by training and examination provided by the department, for one or more of the endorsements listed in paragraphs (1) or (2) of this subsection which indicate the type of vehicle inspection reports the inspector is certified to issue and the types of vehicle inspections the inspector is qualified to perform.

(f) The department representative may, if the vehicle inspector's performance warrants, require the vehicle inspector to take and pass all or a portion of the written test or require attendance at a vehicle inspection training program.

The suspension will remain in effect until the inspector passes the required test or complies with the department representative's request, whichever is applicable.
