o)         Successful completion of the Part-Time Certification Examination will not be deemed equivalent to or sufficient in and of itself, to render said part-time police officer eligible to obtain a waiver of full-time law enforcement basic training or a certificate attesting to equivalent training as a full-time law enforcement officer.
