The certification program manager will send your product
to two peers who are trained certifiers.
Each will independently review the product using the Assessment
Rubric developed specifically for this competency. The entire
product will be evaluated to determine whether it demonstrates
the standards or approaches the standards. Feedback will be
provided to help those approaching the certification standards,
to improve their contacts. Those demonstrating certification
requirements will receive a letter from the training manager
stating they have achieved their certification. Questions
about the process can be answered by any of your regional
curriculum coordinators or the training
manager.
