All evaluator decisions are final. Evaluators are chosen by the board of Canine Solutions International. There may be one or more evaluators per examination. All articles, and human remains must be preserved to pass the International Evaluation, i.e. no mouthing, digging, or retrieving is acceptable at any time. All testing is progressive, i.e. if, at any time, an area is failed, all testing ceases and an applicant must reapply.
All evaluations involve confirmation of logs and health certificates for both the handler and dog.
All search areas, prior to testing, will have sources checked and confirmed by an experienced canine team. All certifications are good for a two year period of time, at the end of said time an application can be made for a recertification. The handler and dog will be considered as a team and it is the team which will be certified. If the dog changes handlers, a new team exists and the certification for the prior team will be void. Include the dogs health certificate, area you wish to be evaluated in, the month you are requesting evaluation in, and a letter attesting that the dog has been trained for and has consistently performed the tasks in which you will be testing.
