Skills Examiners

What are Skills Examiners?
Skills Examiners are people who have completed the online certification test, are qualified in the position they are supervising and authorized by the Ky Wing Director of Emergency Services.

What can Skills Examiners do?
Skills Examiners evaluate people on Emergency Services specialty tasks. They are the only people who are permitted to sign the Familiarization Tasks and the Advanced Training Tasks.

If I complete the online test, am I a Skills Examiner?
No.  Completing the online test means you have completed the SET program.

How do I know who is an Authorized Skills Examiner?
Anyone qualified in the specialty you are training in can be a SET if they have completed the certification test and the DOS approves. Simply ask if unsure.

Who trains people in ES Specialties?
Anyone qualified in the ES Specialty may train other persons in that specialty.  Training must be conducted in accordance with CAPR 60-3 and the applicable Task Book.  The person conducting the training cannot sign off the tasks on the SQTR. An Authorized Skills Examiner must evaluate the trainee in accordance with CAPR 60-3, CAPR 60-4, and the applicable Task Book. A SET can sign off the SQTR as each task is completed and evaluated.
