If at all possible, complete the I-100 requirement for Field Certification online and bring your proof of completion to the test. This will save a lot of time on the test day, since the I-100 written test seems to take a long time to complete. Please note that we do not need a copy of your proof of completion, we only have to look at it.

How to set up a field certification test in your area
As you know, there is a scheduled Field Certification test at ESCAPE each year. If your team wants to set up a test for anytime other than ESCAPE, contact James Newberry (505-827-9228 or james.newberry@state.nm.us). He will either give you the name of an Evaluator in (or near) your area or have one contact you. That Evaluator will then work with you and your team to set up a test. You will have to provide a date, time, and location, and the Evaluator will get other Evaluators to help out and will run the test. You will need a room large enough for the test, including tables and chairs and room to spread out gear. A location for the compass test will be needed, also. Work with the Evaluator(s) on this. If you have any questions, contact James Newberry.
