Certification Skill Checks are administered by the trainee's...?

• A. Trainee
• B. Training Team Lead
• C. ATM
• D. OS (Operations supervisor)

Answer: (D)

Certification Skill Checks are formal evaluations of a trainee’s ability to perform operational tasks safely and consistently. The person who administers them must have the authority to certify whether the trainee has met the required standards and can operate independently. The Operations Supervisor is the natural fit because they oversee daily operations, ensure procedures are followed, and have the authority to sign off on competence after observing performance across scenarios. This role also helps keep the assessment fair and standardized, which is vital for safety-critical training. The trainee wouldn’t administer the check, and while a Training Team Lead can coach and observe, they typically don’t have the official certification authority across all shifts; higher-level roles like the ATM may be involved in policy, but the designated administrator for certification in this context is the OS.
