701—112.3(441) Certification of assessors. An assessor who has received credit equal to at least 150 hours of classroom instruction, of which at least 90 hours are tested credit, during the assessor’s current term shall be certified to the assessor’s conference board as eligible for reappointment to that position. Upon written request by an assessor seeking a waiver of the continuing education requirements, the director may waive the requirements for good cause. Certification shall be only that the incumbent has met the requirements to be eligible for reappointment. No scores or other information will be given to the conference board.
A person who was appointed to complete an unexpired term shall be certified as eligible for reappointment if the person completes the required credits determined as follows:

 	Number of months
of unexpired term filled	×	150	 	
 	72			 	
For example, if a person were appointed to fill the last 24 months of an unexpired term, the credit necessary for certification would be 50 hours determined as follows:

 	24	×	150	=	50 hours	 	
 	72					 	
If the person appointed to complete an unexpired term is an assessor, the assessor may carry forward any credit hours received in the previous position in excess of the number that would be necessary to be considered current in that position. For example, if the assessor had completed four years of a six-year term and had completed 120 hours of continuing education credit, the assessor could carry forward to the new assessment jurisdiction 20 hours of credit (120 - 4/6 × 150).
In situations in which the required number of hours of credit must be prorated, at least 60 percent of the credits earned must be tested credit. For example, if a person must earn 31 hours of credit for certification during a 15-month period, at least 19 of the hours must be tested credit (31 × .60 = 18.6 = 19). Partial credit hours shall be rounded to the nearest whole number.
