I would think that it would have only applied to Hagrid, as it seems 
that the correspondence course that Filch was taking (one could 
assume, unless he was merely perusing the Kwikspell brocure) was 
legal. I can only assume that a Kwikspell course would be offered to 
those who were not "Qualified Wizards", as, really, who else would 
use them? (I always feel so bad for him in those capters of CoS. It 
must be awfully frustrating, mustn't it, to be at a magic school yet 
be a squib.)
