Don’t wonder if someone is qualified to be on your jobsite.
Know it.
You’re handed a resume showing that a liner installer has 10 years experience. Is that person competent? One would hope so.
Unfortunately, we can tell you from experience that experience doesn’t always yield quality work. We’ve seen second-year workers out perform industry vets many, many times. Isn’t it time we start measuring knowledge, not just years on the job? Shouldn’t our industry demand it? Doesn’t your multi-million-dollar project deserve it?
Fortunately, there is now a solution. Our online Certification Testing provides a true picture of an individual’s capabilities and knowledge, and then correlates that knowledge into equivalent years of experience.
Finally, there is a standardized, “apples to apples” method for evaluating and ranking workers before they step onto your jobsite. CQAS Certification Testing sets the standard and gives you peace of mind knowing that your return on investment is protected.
