Trainer-Evaluator Re-Certification

…go to OET Records (Smarter Sheets)

Patroller Schools are changing and will shift focus to training member patrollers and certifying new TE Trainees.  Existing TE’s will re-certify using the guidance below to manage their own re-certification without attending 2-day Patroller School events.

NSP requires that all TE’s teach during every season of a three-year re-cert cycle (unless sidelined by the RA for an injury). The best way to document your teaching at a Senior Program event is to insist that the IOR organizing the event lists your participation in the ASSISTING Instructor’s box.  It is further recommended that every TE should strive to volunteer as an IOR and organize Senior training events for their Region.  Consult your OET Region Advisor (RA) for opportunities to organize clinics.

During a three-year re-certification cycle, every TE is required to report the following:

Since the Division is shifting to a “Self-Reporting” system, it is the TE’s responsibility to return to this page after completing each type of requirement.  TE’s must track their own progress through the re-certification process, or they will be dropped off the TE roster. After completing each task, click the “…go to OET Records” button.  All three tasks must have a submission within the 3-year window for valid re-certification.

NSP Education Department re-news OET Instructors and TEs from April 30th to April 30th (three years later).  They require submissions from Eastern Division to be made on April 1st to provide adequate vetting.  Therefore the OET Records SELF-REPORTING deadline is set for midnight March 31st.

Patroller Schools are once again allowing TEs to attend the TE Evaluation as a 2-day way of re-certification.  However, TE Requirement #2 must be completed as preparation for evaluation at a Patroller School.  The Online homework helps TEs keep up with the contemporary changes that the OET Senior Program experiences and prepares TEs for effective participation.

Questions regarding self-managed re-certification should go to OET RECORDS by email.  Or fill out a TECH SUPPORT form found below.  The Steering Committee members in charge of maintaining records will receive your request or email.
