Equivalency Examination Policy

Equivalency examinations may be given to experienced personnel for required courses that are part of formal qualification programs to allow validation of the course. These examinations must be requested by the employee's immediate supervisor to the cognizant ADTD Chief. Students who validate courses typically miss out on regulatory insights and perspectives, emerging technical issues, and technical interactions with their peers. Equivalency examinations may be taken at the TTC or in the employee's regional or program office and are normally taken on the regular examination day for the course that is being validated.
