Program Evaluator Candidate Training

This is the basic training course for prospective program evaluators and is designed to simulate the actual ABET program review process. Successful completion of the Program Evaluator Candidate Training is the first step in becoming a program evaluator. The Program Evaluator Candidate Training process consists of two separate steps:

  • an online learning experience
  • face-to-face facilitated instruction
  • society specific training (if applicable)

The online portion of Program Evaluator Candidate Training typically takes 20-25 hours and requires written work and the completion of three end-of-module quizzes. Once the online training is complete, Program Evaluator Candidates then attend Face-to-Face training, which is a one and a half day experiential workshop that simulates an on-site visit. Subject to the terms of ABET’s Travel Policies and procedures, ABET covers all reasonable travel expenses related to participation in the face-to-face training.

Who Takes Program Evaluator Candidate Training?

Schedule for Program Evaluator Candidate Training

The Program Evaluator Candidate Training process begins in March and ends in June. The online training must be completed at least three weeks before the face-to-face course.
