Examiner Course

Examiners are experienced instructors who undergo specific training in examination methodology and standards prior to certification. Examiner candidates must have teaching experience: they must have taught or co-taught at least one course in the stream(s) in which they are seeking eventual certification as an examiner. The Examiner course is the first step in becoming certified as an Examiner for the Society, and it prepares candidates to successfully apprentice as an Examiner on the exam of their choice. The Examiner course builds on the evaluation experience that candidates have attained in instructor-evaluated awards and content. The course includes both a dry and wet session. Successfully completing this course will allow candidates the opportunity to become a first aid, national lifeguard and bronze examiner.
