If the minimum size is not reached, the course or examination may be canceled. Courses or examinations may be canceled for other reasons not specifically stated herein. Every effort will be made to notify the applicants well in advance if a cancellation is necessary. If a course or examination is canceled, the applicant may either request refund of any fee, or ask that he/she be enrolled in the next available course or examination. REFUND POLICY Each Agency may establish its own refund policy for Qualification fees where applicable. A suggested guideline follows: 1. The registration form, Rights and Responsibilities Agreement, fee, and any other required documentation must be received at least two (2) weeks prior to the start of the course. 2. Cancellation by the candidate within seven (7) days (without the class position being filled) will result in 50% of the fees being refunded. If the class position can be filled, 85% of the fees will be refunded (15% will be retained for administrative costs). 3. Unforeseen emergency during the course or Qualification proceedings will result in no refund of fees but the candidate will be allowed to retake the course or Qualification examinations, whichever is applicable, at a later date with an additional fee of 15% of the course cost. 4. No refund of fees will be made for failure to successfully complete the examination portions of the Qualification proceedings. EXAMINATION As part of the Qualification process, each technician will be required to pass both written and performance examinations which are designed to demonstrate both a knowledge and understanding of the test procedures. Written exam Administrators and performance exam Examiners should thoroughly explain to the participants what the exams will entail and the examination rules prior to the beginning of the exams. It is envisioned that multiple examination stations will be required during the performance examination; therefore, there will be multiple Examiners required for the performance portion of the examination. Failure of either the written or performance portions of the Qualification will require re-examination and a passing grade in the exam(s) failed, if Qualification is still desired, subject to the criteria described herein. WRITTEN EXAMINATION The written examination will consist of multiple choice questions, some of which will require calculations, or true/false questions. All questions require detailed knowledge of the test method procedures and basic reading comprehension.
