4.0eQuaLified STRUCTURE

Jim Bennett presented the eQuaLified / eQuaLearn differences (see embedded slides). It is important for industry to understand the difference. eQuaLified is Industry Managed where eQuaLearn is not. Training is not mandatory to become qualified.

All training courses whether they are qualification courses or general courses, they all fall under the eQuaLearn training. The qualification courses were developed from the BoKs that Industry developed.

It was requested to have this presentation for the Board of Directors meeting.

ACTION ITEM: Dina Rigot will forward the slides explaining the differences between eQuaLified and eQuaLearn to Karen Conroy. (COMPLETED: 20-OCT-11)

It was recommended that a presentation be made to the NMC Steering Committee to create awareness at the NMC level. Kevin Ward has invited a representative from Professional Development to present the programs to the NMC Steering Committee to create awareness.

ACTION ITEM: PRI Staff to develop a presentation for the NMC Steering Committee in San Diego, CA in February 2012. (DUE DATE: FEB-12)

eQuaLearn is assisting the Nadcap Initial Auditor Training team (PRI Staff) to develop their training. Most of the eQuaLearn instructors are actual Nadcap Auditors. Those instructors that are not current auditors are either past Subscribers or past Auditors. Interactive training is being developed.

The Nadcap Auditor Consistency Sub-Team intends to utilize the PRI Learning Management System to maintain the proposed Auditor Consistency exams.

Jim Bennett discussed the Generalized eQuaLified Draft Structure (see embedded slide). The three levels (Operator, Planner, Owner) is well-accepted globally.
