ACTFL is committed to a transparent certification process. While not all individuals who apply for certification achieve it, ACTFL’s 质量保证 convenes an Appeals Committee on a quarterly basis to reconsider certification decisions. Candidates for an appeal must meet the following criteria:

Certification materials were evaluated inaccurately and/or
There were extenuating circumstances that did not allow for a fair assessment of a candidate’s testing/rating performance

过程

When ACTFL’s Certification Program receives a request to appeal a certification or 换发新证 decision, an ACTFL Certification Appeals Committee is formed to consider the request. The committee is made up of ACTFL staff, master testers, and certified ACTFL workshop facilitators.

The Committee will re-examine materials that were submitted for certification and may review the process through which certification occurred. 要想成功, the appeal must demonstrate that certification materials were evaluated inaccurately and/or that there were extenuating circumstances that did not allow for a fair assessment of a candidate’s testing/rating performance.

The ACTFL Certification Appeals Committee will not review any other material except for what was originally submitted in addition to the materials outlined below.
