I looked, I searched, and I didn't see this anywhere else, so..
If it's been covered, please feel free to smack as needed!
But... It seems there's been a change to the process for the paperwork end of things.
I took my HCP class this past Saturday with the fine folks of On Target Training Center (everywhere else was booked solid for months, but they were able to squeeze me in the same week I first called!), so today I ventured out to EastTowne, er, um, Knoxville Center Mall to get my HCP form at the County Offices out there. When I stepped up to the window and asked, I was informed that the state had pulled all the forms from the county offices about 3 weeks ago and that I'd have to go to the Dept. of Safety to get 'em.
Ok, no biggie, Strawberry Plains is just a hop and skip from there, so I scooted on over. And was thwarted again. Now, it seems, you do NOT get to remove the application form from the building.. You need to bring all your paperwork (birth cert, etc and the class completion cert), and then they'll hand you a form to fill out while you're there.
The state website has NOT been updated to reflect this change up, and I don't know if it's just here in Knox county or if it's everywhere. Nor do I understand why they'd change things. (Are they concerned about someone counterfieting the application? Or is this one of those things to make it just that little bit harder to do?)
Anyway, thought I'd share with everyone.
