Washington State Quality Award

EXAMINER TRAINING

Preparation Courses
Participation by Board members in preparation courses is critical to the success of the Program because these courses include a detailed review of the Criteria for Performance Excellence evaluation process, scoring system, consensus development, site visit requirements, and Code of Ethical Standards. Examiners select the desired certification path. Examiners must then attend the required training for the selected review path. Selected Examiners who cannot attend the required training and do not complete the required pre-work for the training will not serve as Examiners. Senior Examiners must attend an additional day of training.
