The Hands-on Facility
Requirements Form must be filled out and emailed to Jennifer
merck at merck@sspc.org or faxed to her at 412-281-9993 before the qualification session.
Failure to meet the facility hands-on assessment requirements
will result in disqualification of all participants. The host
facility or sponsoring employer will still be responsible
for all instructor and classroom expenses, regardless of whether
students are disqualified because the hands-on or classroom
facilities or other SSPC requirements do not meet SSPC specifications.
It is each candidate's employer's responsibility to make sure all of his or her candidates have submitted a completed Application/Experience Form. If SSPC does not receive this form (10) business days prior to your course date, the candidate will not be able to participate in the qualification session.
