All bullet statements within a task which require an action (contain an action verb) must be demonstrated before that task can be signed off. All tasks must be evaluated before recommending certification. It is important that performance be critically evaluated and accurately recorded by each evaluator. Performance of these tasks on other kinds of incidents is NT qualifying. Some positions require that specific tasks be performed on a wildland fire. Designated PTBs require position performance during which the majority of required tasks are demonstrated on a single wildland or prescribed fire. Evaluation and confirmation of the trainee s performance of all the tasks may involve more than one evaluator and can occur on incidents, in classroom simulation, and in other work situations. Successful performance of all tasks, as observed and recorded by an evaluator, will result in a recommendation to the agency that the trainee be certified in that position. Each PTB lists the performance requirements (tasks) for the specific position in a format that allows a trainee to be evaluated against written guidelines.
