14 – The Next Steps

Maintaining Status

Activity reports are reviewed by the Evaluations Committee annually. Skill Evaluators who have not performed at least one operational evaluation on a minimum of four different candidates over the course of one calendar year may be placed on conditional leave. They are contacted by their Chief Evaluator via phone or in person to determine if there are extenuating circumstances which prevented or hampered evaluations during that year.

After the personal conversation, the Chief Evaluator makes a determination on the Evaluator’s status or seeks the advice the Evaluation Committee. The Skill Evaluator is either returned to active status or placed on inactive status. An inactive evaluator may return to active status by completing an online qualification exam or attending an F2F training day and successfully completing either with a score of 80% or better.

Becoming a Chief Evaluator

Skill Evaluators desiring to become Chiefs petition the Board of Chiefs (Evaluations Committee). From time to time that group may reach out to established Skill Evaluators asking them to consider the role of Chief.

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

The Board of Chief Evaluators (Evaluations Committee) considers petitions annualy and appoints those deemed worthy.
