Policy for Instructors with Lapsed Certification

February 20, 2010

 

 

An instructor whose NCRC certification has lapsed less than one year may apply to the NTC for a one-year extension. During this time he must

a.    Pass the IQ entry skills test

b.    Participate in an instructor update

c.    Take and pass the written instructor test

d.    Teach Level 1 or higher

 

After successfully completing the above requirements, a lapsed instructor with positive teaching evaluations from supervisors, peers and students will be reinstated for three years from the end of the one year extension period.

 

If they apply after one year of the date of their required recertification, they must apply for the IQ class following the same process as new candidates, be accepted, complete the class and pass the test. Their apprentice-teaching requirement may be waived at the discretion of the NCRC Education Board.

 

[Note that existing policy requires all NCRC instructors to maintain NSS membership.]

 

This policy is in accordance with actions of the NCRC Board of Regional Coordinators, February 12, 2005, and revised per actions of February 20, 2010.
