INTENT

It is the intent of the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention & Control (Division) and Colorado Fire Service Training and Certification Advisory Board (Advisory Board) that all candidates taking any examination for certification receive equal instruction, explanation, assistance and evaluation from a Proctor. In order to accomplish these objectives, this set of Policies has been prepared and provided for you. These Policies adhere to the recommendations and requirements established in National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1000, Standard on Fire Service Professional Qualifications Accreditation and Certification Systems.

INTRODUCTION

These Proctor Policies have been designed to allow you, as a State of Colorado certified Written Proctor, to administer written examinations only for certification at levels offered by the Division and for which you meet the prescribed requirements. This document applies ONLY to written examination proctors.

The Colorado Firefighter Voluntary Certification Program was created and is administered by legislative statute. The program is assigned to the Division. The Advisory Board has rule making authority and develops the policies and requirements for administering the firefighter certification program. The Board consists of members appointed by the Governor and represents various fire service constituents throughout the state.

8 CCR 1507-3, printed in the 1996 Public Record Corporation document, Colorado Code of Regulations, titled Department of Public Safety, Division of Fire Prevention & Control, Rules Pertaining to the Firefighter Voluntary Certification Program (Firefighter Rules) was adopted on October 23, 1996, and became effective on November 30, 1996. These Firefighter Rules are revised from time to time, to meet the needs of the firefighter certification program. The most recent revision was adopted on May 4, 2005, and became effective on June 30, 2005.

The purpose of the Firefighter Rules, Certification Policies and this Policy is to maintain a secure certification program, based on integrity, consistency and credibility. This cannot be accomplished without the assistance of each and every participant, department head, training officer, and certified proctor utilizing the system.

PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT

Information Regarding Disclosure of Personal Information

The principal purpose of the information requested on the Application and Request for Examination (Scantron ™ Form) will be used for processing applications and maintaining records of participation in certification and training programs administered by the Division of Fire Prevention & Control. Information such as age and sex are used for statistical purposes only, and will not be considered in evaluating applications for training or certification.

The Social Security number is used as an identifier to match the person completing training or certification with the correct master record in order to better assist you in obtaining certifications and training records. The use of the Social Security number is necessary because of the large number of individuals who have identical names and birth dates, and whose identities can only be distinguished by the Social Security number.

The home address and telephone number are solicited as a means to better serve you in the future. At the present time, the Division of Fire Prevention & Control does not have the means to communicate directly with participants in the training and certification programs. Disclosure of this information will permit the Division to mail training notices and newsletters directly to program participants.

Personal information provided on this form is given on a voluntary basis. Failure to provide the requested information, however, may result in a delay in processing applications or certifications and locating master records. Failure to provide home address and telephone number will preclude the Division from contacting you directly on training and certifications matters.

You may flag questions on the iPad and return to them for review, but you must answer each question and un-flag the marked ones before you select “complete and grade”.

8. “The examination Proctor cannot explain the test items or assist in your response to them.”

9. “The Division of Fire Prevention & Control is committed to assuring that every examination meets rigorous standards of quality and fairness. In order to achieve this goal, each test question is subjected to a review process before it is ever used on an examination. Each new question undergoes a careful review to ensure that:

-it is clear and unambiguous

-it has one and only one best answer that most accurately and most completely answers the question.

-it meets the standards for fairness and sensitivity

Despite these precautions, on rare occasions an error or ambiguity may be found in a test question by a candidate. If this occurs, the candidate may demonstrate in writing by making an appeal and/or suggestion to the validity of an examination question or answer.

The challenge must be put in writing using an “Examination Challenge/ Appeals/Suggestion Form.” Please let your Proctor know if you need this form.”

“This form must be completed and turned into the proctor before the candidate leaves the testing area. The candidate must fill out this form completely and independently. In other words, the challenge is not a group effort or in any way a joint effort amongst the proctor and candidate. Additionally, the candidate shall not refer to reference materials when completing the form.

The proctor will send the challenge to the Division of Fire Prevention & Control with the candidate’s examination. Once the Division receives the challenge, it will be forwarded to a committee for review.

Page | 19

A decision will be made within 60 days of receipt of the challenge. The written response will state the decision reached by the committee concerning the candidate’s inquiry or challenge, and explain the reasons for that decision. If you disagree with the decision by the committee, you may submit a reply to the committee’s response to the Director of the Division of Fire Prevention & Control. The decision of the Director is final.”

10. “If you fail an examination you will be entitled to a retake examination. This retake examination will be the entire test.”

11. “If you have any questions, please raise your hand and the Proctor will try to help you.”

12. “DO NOT MARK IN YOUR TEST BOOKLET OR ATTEMPT TO OPEN ANY APPLICATIONS OTHER THAN NETEXAMS ON YOUR IPAD. This may void your examination, as well as the examinations of the others testing with you. Report any markings you may find in your test booklet to the Proctor.

13. “There are a number of versions of each examination. The person next to you probably has a different version than you do.”

14. “For test booklet TRUE/FALSE questions, mark “A” for True and “B” for False.

15. “Your test scores will be emailed eighteen (18) hours after completion of your examination. Examinations taken on a scantron™ will have test scores faxed or emailed (within 30 days after the receipt of the examination from your proctor), to your fire service organization department head or designee, by the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention & Control. If you are not affiliated with a fire service organization, your results will be sent directly to you.”

16. “When you have completed the examination, confirm all questions have been answered, check the “complete and grade” button on the iPad, turn in the iPad or examination booklet, Certification Test Answer Sheet and any scratch paper to the Proctor. The Proctor will check your iPad or examination answer sheet to ensure all of your information is filled in appropriately.”

ATTENTION PROCTOR!!! When the candidate turns in his/her Answer Sheet, double-check that the FDID#, examination version and entire Social Security Number are filled in correctly. For iPad exams make sure the candidate has answered all questions which will allow them to check “complete and grade.” If they have successfully completed the exam they will receive a message that that their results will be emailed in 18 hours.

17. “PLEASE DO NOT START EXAMS UNTIL YOU ARE TOLD TO DO SO.”

At this time, provide the unique Proctor key to the candidates that are testing online. Note that the key is case sensitive. The Proctor may now instruct the candidate(s) they may begin the examination. The Proctor will note the time the examination process begins and must make sure it ends on time. Enter all of the data requested on the back side of your Written Proctor’s Affidavit and sign when the form is complete. The Proctor must also complete, sign and return the Facility and Equipment Verification Form.

TESTING IMPROPRIETIES

In the event that a candidate is observed or suspected of cheating and if, based on the preliminary investigation, the circumstances are judged to be sufficient, the individual(s) involved will not be allowed to continue the examination and will be removed from the testing location. The appropriate department head or department training officer will be notified, as well as the Certification Director. The written proctor will prepare and forward a record of circumstances to the Certification Manager. A review of circumstances will be conducted and appropriate actions will be determined by the Certification Manager. The individual(s) involved, and possibly the department or agency the individual represents, will not be allowed to continue in the Certification Program until the issue is resolved.

EXAMINATION QUESTION CHALLENGE

The Division has attempted to develop, through the use of nationally recognized test banks, written examinations which are factually correct when specific knowledge objectives are involved. The Division does not allow candidate or organization representative review of their written examinations. It is important in ensuring test validity that this type of review not be allowed. Any candidate may challenge a question on a written examination. The challenge of a question must be placed in writing using an Examination Challenge/ Appeals/Suggestion Form. This form must be completed and turned into the proctor before the candidate leaves the testing area and forwarded to the Division’s Certification Manager. Once the Division receives the challenge, it will be forwarded to a committee for review. A decision will be made within 60 days of receipt of the challenge. The written response will state the decision reached by the committee concerning the candidate’s inquiry or challenge, and explain the reasons for that decision. If the candidate disagrees with the decision by the committee, he/she may appeal the decision to the Director of the Division of Fire Prevention & Control. The decision of the Director is final.

If you have any questions or require clarification, please do not hesitate to contact the Division of Fire Prevention & Control at 303-239-4600.
