# All of you that have been waiting to challenge the Level 1 certification, here is your chance.

TO BE CLEAR, THIS IS AN ASSESSMENT AND NOT A TRAINING!

There will be different stations where you will display your skills to accomplish a certain task. Any of the items from the EL and Level 1 list may be part of the assessment and there is a written test. The MMO and all hitches tied with a VT Prusik are also possible assessment items. It is scheduled to take 2 days.

If, at anytime, you perform an operation in a scenario where a life is put at risk, your assessment will be over. Open carabiners supporting a life or being stopped by an assessor to avoid a failure are examples of a life at risk. Also, if your overall skills are not fluid and well practiced, it will show early on. At some point you may not be allowed to continue. You will only be given one attempt to challenge a level 1 assessment. Make the most of your attempt.
You will be scored on a scale from 1 to 5 for each topic. 5 is perfect and 1 is a failure.

More details will follow but get signed up now.
