As long as you can don the suit without assistance and it doesn't prevent you from reaching your valves, GUE could care less where your zipper is at.
I don't consider helping my buddy pull his back zipper shut significant assistance - it takes 15 seconds, at most, and it's something that can be difficult to do (though there are workarounds). Contrast that with drysuit divers who can't tuck in their own hoods or take their own gloves off... it's kinda sad and says more about their attitude than their equipment.

I don and doff my backzip drysuit myself pretty much every dive. An inch or two of leash goes a long way.

I guess my thought is given typical exposure in a fundies class, most fundies classes require an "appropriate exposure suit, and in most, if not all of the US, that is a drysuit.

I did t1 in a wetsuit in south Florida.
Buy a drysuit is a good thing to do fundies in if you're comfortable in it. If you're brand new to drysuit diving, your gunna have a bad time.

Like rlynch said, Drysuit is not required for a Tech Pass, however it will be noted on your Cert Card whether you completed the course in dry/wet suit.
