Which of the following is NOT a qualification for task certifiers?

• A. Must have demonstrated proficiency in the task
• B. Must have 18 months of qualification within the task(s) at hand
• C. Must have completed relevant training
• D. Must be evaluated by a senior certifier

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that certifying someone to perform a task should be based on proven ability and proper validation, not on simply how long they’ve spent on the job. A qualified task certifier must have demonstrated proficiency in the task, completed the required training, and been evaluated by a senior certifier who confirms they can perform to the expected standard. The requirement of 18 months of qualification within the task is not a standard qualification criterion because time on task doesn’t by itself prove competency or ensure the correct procedures are followed. Certification focuses on actual ability, knowledge gained through training, and formal assessment by an experienced evaluator, not a fixed duration of experience.
