IMPORTANT:
SARDUS will pre-screen teams to make sure they understand the
standards and are ready to take the certification tests. We may ask for supporting information like previous certifications,
training records or letters of recommendation. This is an attempt to reduce the amount of tests taken by teams not ready to
test. Teams will also be screened during the first day of testing period.
These clinics give SARDUS the opportunity to work with new evaluators.
We are intentionally moving very slow with the expansion of our evaluator pool so we can maintain the quality and consistency
that we expect with our certifications. Evaluators in-training work with our experienced evaluators setting up and observing
how each test is evaluated. This is a very work intensive process but our results are tests that are set up and evaluated
the same across the country. If you are interested in becoming a SARDUS evaluator please apply by contacting SARDUS
below. Very limited space.
