Each applicant for a certificate of competency shall pass an examination to ensure
the competence of the applicant, prior to issuance of a certificate of competency.
The test for each certificate of competency shall be developed using a pool of test
questions prepared based on a field job study and validated by a qualified third party
vendor selected through the request for proposals process. The pool of questions developed
by the selected vendor shall be sufficiently large to ensure that each examination
may be fairly administered. Not less than seventy-five (75) percent of each examination
developed shall be based on questions from nationally derived, standardized tests,
and no greater than twenty-five (25) percent of each examination shall be based on
differences from common national trade practices or Code requirements particular to
the State of Minnesota. Any part of the examination not based on questions from nationally
derived standardized tests shall contain only objectively scored questions.
Each examination shall be administered, scored and the results reported by a vendor
selected through the request for proposals process. Scores will be valid for one (1)
year from the date of the exam. (98-Or-021, § 1, 3-6-98; 2003-Or-058, § 2, 5-16-03)
