The purpose of the Skills Assessment is to combine two important aspects of the CETP Certification process:

• Provide structured on-the-job training for the LP-Gas employee under the direction of an experienced and qualified skills evaluator
• Standardize conditions under which the employee demonstrates his/her performance of tasks that meet the requirements of the Certified Employee Training Program.

The Skills Assessment is designed to document the employee’s on-the-job training experience and ability to perform job related tasks. Once the candidate has passed the CETP Certification exam, they should review the Skills Assessment instructions with a qualified skills evaluator. 

Who is a Skills Evaluator?
A Skills Evaluator may be a propane company manager or supervisor, or a contracted training consultant. All Skills Evaluators should meet the following criteria:

• Have an understanding of the CETP instructional material and the proper procedures for performing the tasks listed in the skills assessment evaluation packet
• Be familiar with the propane company’s policies and procedures
• Have the ability to direct the candidate in describing each task as it is performed
• Have the ability to ask candidates leading questions involving difficult operating conditions or abnormal scenarios, and use methods to
  ensure the candidate can demonstrate required skills and applied knowledge criteria on the job
• Ensure the candidate properly applies company-required safety measures while performing the skills
• Understand which of the skills are designated as optional and which are not required (N/A) under the candidate’s job description and duties
• Complete the documentation of the skills assessment, to include signing the affidavit form, making a copy of Section IV: CETP Performance Evaluation/Employer Record for the employee file, and then mailing the originals to the testing center below - within 12 months of passing the exam.
