The Journeyman level qualification board must include which participants?

• A. CC Supervisor, 2 qualified watchstanders, and a representative of the Response and Prevention Departments
• B. CC Supervisor, 1 qualified watchstander, and a Journeyman
• C. Two CC Supervisors and a Master level watchstander
• D. A Supervisor level, and two Apprentices

Answer: (A)

The board is set up to balance leadership oversight, hands-on evaluation, and specialized input. Including a CC Supervisor ensures supervisory standards and policy alignment are considered. Having two qualified watchstanders provides practical, real-world assessment from experienced operators who can judge how the candidate would perform under typical watch conditions. A representative from the Response and Prevention Departments brings expertise on incident response, safety, and preventive measures, ensuring the candidate demonstrates awareness of how to foresee and handle potential issues.

This combination ensures the candidate is evaluated on both theory and performance, with perspectives from leadership, day-to-day watch experience, and specialized safety and response expertise. Other configurations miss at least one of these essential elements, which would weaken the fairness and validity of the assessment.
