Classroom Training
Department of Health (DOH) requires
applicants for the BAT certification examination
to have a high school diploma or GED®. Training
and experience are not required to apply for a
BAT certification
or professional growth examination and DOH does not
endorse any training course or sponsor.
Applying for and paying for a BAT examination
does not enroll anyone in a training course,
nor are BAT examinations in Washington administered
as a part of any training course. Examinations are not cancelled due
to cancellation of a training activity. See
Apply for a BAT Certification Examination or
Apply for a BAT Professional Growth Examination
for transfer and cancellation policies.
It is highly recommended that any person
interested in becoming certified as a BAT
complete an appropriate training course. Applicants that want to attend training prior
to taking an examination should contact the BAT
training sponsor of their choice and select a
course that most closely meets their needs.
Attending a training course is not a
guarantee that an applicant will pass the
examination.
