The Committee Chair will send appropriate notices to candidates for failure or non-compliance. NE's who complete the 'A' requirements early simply complete them early. They still must complete the assessment observation to retain the NE designation. The A1 and NE terms do not have to coincide providing that an NE maintains the A1 status. If an A1 status lapses before the normal expiration of the NE status, then the NE status must also lapse at that time.
Any signature given retains the status of the examiner at the time it is given.
This means that a signature given by an active NE, for example, retains its validity even though that NE's status may lapse before the signature is submitted. However, if somebody is initially certified in any capacity, that will become effective immediately. For the purposes of the QCP, they would have to be reconfirmed within 3 years of the following June 30. Each season, the Executive of the Officiating Committee will make arrangements to ensure that NE's will be available at the major events across the country, and the Squash Canada Officiating Program will therefore be responsible for those related expenses.
