310-1 Wildland Fire Qualification System Guide - National Wildfire ...

Verification/Certification of Completed Task Book
The Verification/Certification of Completed Task Book provides a record of the Final
Evaluator’s recommendation and agency certification. The Final Evaluator will complete the
verification section recommending certification and the Certifying Official at the Home
Unit/Agency, when appropriate, will complete the certification.
Qualification Record
The Qualification Record includes:
The left column with a list of TASKS that must be performed. If a specific standard
(quality or quantity) is required, it will be specified in the task. Tasks within the PTB are
numbered sequentially; however, the numbering does NOT indicate the order in which
the tasks need to be performed or evaluated.
The bullets under each numbered task are examples or indicators of items or actions
related to the task. The purpose of the bullets is to assist the Evaluator in evaluating the
Trainee; the bullets are not all-inclusive. Evaluate and initial ONLY the tasks. DO NOT
evaluate and initial each individual bullet.
The column labeled CODE will contain a code that specifies the type of situation in
which the task must be completed.
Tasks labeled with an “O” can be completed in any situation (classroom,
simulation, daily job, incident, prescribed fire, etc.) Assignment to an incident is
not required.
For example, an administrative officer, as a part of their regular job, may
perform many of the tasks associated with a finance/administrative
position for which they have been identified as a Trainee. In this case, an
Evaluator may observe and document performance of the “O” task in the
regular job setting.
Tasks labeled with an “I” (incident) must be performed on an incident that is
managed under the Incident Command System (ICS). Types of incidents include
wildland fire, structural fire, search and rescue, hazardous material, oil spill, an
emergency or non-emergency (planned or unplanned) event.
Tasks labeled “W” must be performed on a wildfire incident.
Tasks labeled “RX” (prescribed fire) must be performed on a prescribed fire
incident.
Tasks labeled “W/RX” (wildfire/prescribed fire) must be performed on a wildfire
or prescribed fire incident.
