Accredited Chief Evaluator (ACE)

Chief Evaluators have the same responsibilities as any Accredited Skill Evaluator. In addition, the Chiefs supervise the ASE’s in their region and serve as principal training officers for new ASE’s.

The goal is to have at least one Chief Evaluator in each of our nine (9) regions. Some of the regions will be better served by having more than one, either due to high enrollment in the region, and/or high industry involvement.

The current WCA Founding Chief Evaluators are pictured below.

Becoming a Chief Evaluator

Accredited Skill Evaluators desiring to become Chiefs petition the Board of Chiefs (Evaluations Committee).

Criteria for elevation to Chief Evaluator shall be established by the Evaluations Committee.

The Evaluations Committee considers petitions in the Fall of each year and elevates those deemed worthy in December of each year.
