SKILLS PRE-TEST BRIEFING

Proctor must read the following to the students prior to beginning of skills testing:

Candidates will be tested utilizing the current skills sheet packages which were provided at the beginning of the course. These are also available on our webpage and in AFC Online.
Candidates will be directed when training has ended, and testing is beginning.
Candidates will be tested individually on a skill, tested individually within a team, or both, depending on the skills that were randomly drawn for skills testing. This will be explained by the evaluator at each station.
Candidate(s) are to communicate during any team skill as normally would occur to complete the JPR. Candidates are to complete their portion of the team skill.
Candidates are not allowed to correct or assist others with a portion of the team skill that is not assigned to them.
During skills testing appropriate PPE will be worn at all times by candidates and evaluators; skills testing will be stopped if an unsafe situation occurs. Candidates should notify the evaluator at any time of any safety concerns. Candidates will not be penalized for safety related questions.
The same safety concerns will be followed in testing just as in training.
Candidates will be assigned a number and a group.
Candidates will be given an initial attempt at each skill. The evaluators will not indicate if passed or failed. Candidates should return to completed staging area after completion of skill station.
If a candidate fails the initial attempt at any skill, a retest will be administered after all candidates have completed initial testing. Retesting will be conducted by a different evaluator than the initial attempt. Remediation can occur between attempts.
Failure on the second attempt will require the candidate to retest at a different testing site after a 30-day waiting period.
Candidates will now be assigned numbers and escorted to the pre-testing staging area. Once each candidate has completed skills testing, they will remain in a post-testing staging area. Any communication with candidates that have not tested will be considered cheating.
Candidates with an appeal about the examination process should contact the Certification Office in writing listing the reason for the appeal.

Proctor: Orient the candidates to the Testing area layout prior to skills testing. (explain to the candidates where the pretest staging area is, location of each skill station, how they will be escorted to the skill stations, and where the post-test staging area is.)
