Please note. We used to have a test-out program for experienced users. We no longer offer this option. It was unsustainable with our tiny staff. We tried with volunteers but the volunteer base and availability were too erratic… folks would move or become unavailable right after we got them trained up. We do admit we have a high standard for our instructors, volunteer or paid. That standard includes being able to teach in inclusive and equitable ways to both beginners and experts. We offer a lot of support for instructors of all kinds to gain skills that are directly applicable to many life situations including traditional careers.

Thank You for Stepping up to be an AMT Certification Specialist!

What to do when somebody doesn’t Pass

Testing out is a privilege. If somebody doesn’t test out in a reasonable amount of time, please refer them to a class on the schedule. If you choose to teach them how to use the tool, please be aware that you will need to spend enough time that you would feel safe with them using the tool. In most cases it is best to send them to class.

What to do when somebody does Pass

Things to Teach them:

• How to use the dust collection system
• How to report trouble with the tool (see info cards)
• What the storage and consumables policies are
• Where the first aid stuff is

Send this info to [email protected]

• Name of Person (first and last)
• Membership Status
• Email associated with their AMT account (if applicable)
• Tool(s) they are certified to use
