If shooting skill is the problem, I know at least two instructors who will work with the problem student to get them over the hump. I suspect most would approach the problem that way.

A certificate (TR100) is only issued to a person who completes the written and firearms qualifications. If a person does not finish, for any reason, then no TR100 is issued.
DPS does not get into how instructor's manage their classes.
I have yet to remove a person from class for boorish behavior. Many people show up to class mistakenly believing that it is a "teach you how to shoot class". In that case, as an instructor and not simply a test giver, I work with the person to insure they CAN be safe and qualify.
However, I would not hesitate to remove a person from the range who refused or was incapable of following safety instructions.
I have not yet needed to remove such a person from a CHL course, but I have in security guard classes.
That said, if the student demonstrates the state requirement on proficiency and safe handling, regardless of how weak they were, they earned the TR100.
