2. To report industry certifications, the following procedures must be followed for all written examinations: – Exam is not proctored by the individual providing the direct instruction for the industry certification or certificate, except under extremely limited conditions. If only one individual is approved by the certifying agency as a proctor, the teacher may proctor the exams and must be independently monitored by a second individual who does not provide direct instruction for the industry certification content to the individuals taking the test(s). – Exam questions are delivered in a secure manner and paper-based tests are not available to the proctor for an extended period of time. – Exam is scored by certifying agency (cannot be scored by anyone at the district). – Exam is administered in accordance with the certifying agency procedures. – Exam must not have administered more than 3 times during the academic year with a minimum of 20 days between test administrations. *DOE has changed wait time from 30 to 20 days between exam attempts except for CNA (Nursing) Test Administration Procedures for 2015-16
