Guidelines for tests

  • Users can test for more than one tool per session, but they must book the time and pay the fee per tool
  • All people need to have a release of liability on file before doing the test. Note: active Ace members have one on file as part of their membership.
  • New users have to start with an Ace basics primer
  • Users must have already been on an Ace Tour
  • Being an experienced user
  • One person per test

All shop tests should include:

  • Basic shop safety and etiquette including how our dust collection works for new users – 15 min.
  • Specific Tools testing with rubric

What to do if a user fails the practical

  • DO NOT START TEACHING THEM core competency skills.
  • Let them know they need more training and offer them a discount (Crafty will set up) on the next competency workshop.
    • Be sensitive, and just let them know that while they do have some core skills to be certified in the Ace Shop more training is needed

What to do when a user passes

  • Let them know you are submitting their certification and follow these instructions to report the newly certified users.
