What does evaluation and feedback look like?

Feedback of the video session will be provided by the Certification Reviewer in the form of a brief note in writing listing strengths and growing edges 

Additional requests for debrief will be charged at Certification Reviewer’s agreed hourly rate 

Recorded and Live Session Evaluation and Feedback: 

• The Certification Reviewer will assess the skill level of the applicant according to the lists of competencies below with the required evaluation form provided in the application materials. If the applicant does not satisfy the required competencies, they will be required to submit another video session or do another live session with the same Certification Reviewer. If the applicant is assessed on two occasions to not be ready for Certification, the Reviewer will make recommendations for additional consultation or training, according to certification standards. For the 3rd review, applicants have the opportunity to choose a new Certification Reviewer. After the 3rd attempt, we recommend applicants determine a 1 year learning plan based on feedback received prior to their next video review. 

• All decisions of the Reviewer are final. A new video must be submitted for each new review.
