Generally speaking they'll take the two most recent ratings, 2005 & 2010.

Next year expect 2005 to be dropped as 2015 helmets are available, there's probably a grace period through this year, I heard the 2015's are slow to hit retailers.

Edit: IMO I was really satisfied with Hooked On Driving's instruction that was my first track day at Thunder Hill last year, they're more expensive but they really control the environment: a nightmare for some, a godsend for newbies.
