Assessors

Becoming an ANAB Assessor

Assessors are an integral part of ANAB’s structure and depending on the program, assessors may be independent contractors or volunteers.

Participation in ANAB assessments provides the assessor with ongoing professional development and benefits the industry by ensuring uniform application of accreditation requirements, including those for technical competence.

ANAB assessors (including experts) are approved for specific standards or programs based on their competence (skills, knowledge, expertise) to provide technical knowledge for the scope of accreditation. ANAB relies on assessors for their knowledge of specific programs through the duration of assessment activity.
