and protocols as a new or returning authorized user—especially as it relates to the verification of Qualified Assessor accounts, the rostering students (participating in an electronic version of the ORExt), and the monitoring of the ORExt administration and
data entry progress. This FAQ is posted on the Training and Proficiency website as well. However, due to their import I wanted to call these out and send for your convenience.
