Becoming a Certification Evaluator
Certification Evaluators are an integral part of the ACF Certification process. Certification Evaluators have the responsibility to fairly evaluate candidates taking the practical exam. The following steps are required to become a Certification Evaluator:
- Submit New Evaluator Application
- Attend New Evaluator Training
- Participate in three practical exams as an Apprentice Evaluator
- Receive approval from ACF
Policies & Procedures
Certification Evaluators must adhere to the policies and procedures provided in the Certification Evaluator Handbook.
Maintaining Certification Evaluator Status
Certification Evaluators are responsible for complying with the following to maintain approved status:
- Current ACF certification and membership.
- Complete continuing education requirements necessary to maintain evaluator status including attending an online refresher (typically a 1.5 hour annual class).
- Comply with continuing education requirements necessary to maintain volunteer status including attending an anti-harassment webinar (typically a 1-hour class once every two years) and any other requirements as set by the ACF.
- Evaluate at least one practical exam every two calendar years.
Failure to comply with these requirements will render the evaluator status inactive until completion of an eight hour Training Seminar and all of the above requirements are met.
