What are the necessary qualifications for me to become an examiner?
Top leaders, managers, and business and non-business professionals from diverse functional areas and sectors are encouraged to participate. You do not have to be in the quality sciences. Our examiners often include engineers, leaders, and managers from all organization levels, CEOs, COOs, MDs, RNs, CPAs, PhDs, EdDs, PharmDs, and so on. The desire to participate depends on personal or organizational goals. What are yours?
Do I have to participate in the award cycle?
No, you are welcome to attend a workshop without committing to participate in the examiner award cycle. We understand the difficulty for some to take 8-9 days time away from the office to participate in the examiner cycle in addition to the approximately 60 to 80 hours of individual work. If you decide to participate in the examiner award cycle, we do need full commitment and follow-through.
Am I guaranteed to be selected for an examiner team?
Our goal is to place everyone who takes our training and has the appropriate education, experience, and true commitment to following through to the finish. Although rare, it is not always possible to place everyone on a team. In addition, we reserve the right not to place an individual on a team or to remove someone once they’ve been assigned. Maintaining the integrity of the process is an absolute must for us. We are all professionals and if there are options available, we will talk to you about them.
What is the cost to become an examiner?
The only cost is $595 for the two-day workshop. There is no charge for our consensus meetings. Examiners or their employers are responsible for potential overnight accommodations and travel expenses during the consensus. There is no charge for overnight accommodations and travel expenses during site visit.
Is this a certification?
Yes, but to be certified and listed on our website as an examiner for a given year, you need to successfully complete all the training, individual review, consensus meetings and planning, a company site visit, and inputs to the feedback report. Alternatively, you may choose to complete the examiner experience through consensus review of a national application which follows the all of aforementioned steps except for site visit.
How long will it take to become an examiner?
Eight to 10 hours of prework before attending the two-day workshop. Sixteen hours for the two-day workshop, the time spent in conference calls, individual review, preparation, consensus meetings, and the on-site visit will take about 150 hours. Time away from the office is between 8 and 9 days, including site visits. Some Examiners who are unable to commit to a week long site visit, choose to follow the examiner cycle through consensus review of a national application which will take about 100 hours.
