Oddly enough, DPS will allow you to use the five-day instructor class as your CHL training.

Sorry, AR. I only pat pretty girls and old timers like MoJo on the back. I see your picture on your posts, and ....Oh No!

Careful patting old timers on the back. You might knock one over.

Class started at approximately 0830, and I walked out with signed CHL-100 in hand shortly before noon.

And that is significantly less than the required four hours of training.

The state operates on a 50 minute hour, allowing for a 10 minute break every hour on the clock. IF the class took no breaks, it is possible that the requirement was sufficiently met.

I think this is a common misinterpretation of the concept of a break. A four-hour class with ten-minute hourly breaks is not the same as a 3:20 class with no breaks, and a ten-hour class with ten-minute hourly breaks is not the same as an 8:20 class with no breaks. Though the amount of content is the same, the length of the class is still the time between starting and ending.
I find nothing in the code that explicitly spells out the use of breaks either way. But I have witnessed my wife's state-approved online defensive driving class that required her to sit and wait until the end of the six-hour period despite finishing the content much earlier.
