The Certification Skill Check session ___.

• A. Is performed by the training team
• B. Must be conducted monthly
• C. May include verbal questioning
• D. Counts toward OJT hours

Answer: (C)

Certification Skill Check sessions are meant to verify a learner’s ability to perform and explain what they’re doing. In practice, these checks aren’t limited to a single method. Verbal questioning is often included because it tests understanding, decision-making, and the ability to articulate steps in real time, not just perform the actions demonstrated. That’s why the option that it may include verbal questioning is the best fit—it reflects the flexible, multi-method nature of certification assessments.

The other statements aren’t universally true. It isn’t necessarily performed only by the training team—supervisors, mentors, or other evaluators can lead it. The frequency isn’t fixed to monthly in all programs, as schedules vary. And whether it counts toward OJT hours depends on the specific program’s rules, which aren’t universal.
