I went to SCCA Schools in three different divisions either for myself or as "crew" for someone else. They were all done the same way.
Study the GCR before you arrive.
2-3 hour classroom session on Friday evening consisting of what to expect during the school, how an SCCA event normally progresses, flags, some GCR, and filling out paperwork.
Open book GCR/flag written test Friday evening.
Satuday morning course walk with your instructor. Then two or three on track sessions consisting of different flagging situations and how you responded to them followed by a short debriefing with your instructor. Each instructor averaged about five "students" limiting the amount of time that could be spent with each.
Another on track session followed by a "Practice" race in the afternoon. Then a meeting in the classroom with the Chief Steward followed by individual meetings with the CS to be told if you passed and would be given a novice permit and allowed to race in the regional on Sunday or be required to attend another school.
From the times I have worked tech at schools over the years I have not seen much change in the format. No, I won't name names or point fingers.
