CWEA’s ECI exam is the next up for analysis to make sure appropriate Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (known as KSAs in the certification business) will continue to be tested. To do that, we need to hear from you: the people who do all the managing and mentoring in your field. As a leader in your profession, you can help by participating in the project and/or by recruiting qualified and talented staff members.
From November 2010 through June 2011, we will need at least 12 volunteers from the environmental compliance inspector field to review and provide feedback on our current job analysis and test specifications. You need to be a certificate holder in order to participate. You should expect to spend 6-30 hours in up to five face-to-face meetings (though you can attend only one face-to-face meeting if that is all your schedule allows–we’re flexible!)
If you’re interested, please fill out the volunteer application form and email it to Vivien Malig.
