MGTI Proctor Agreement

Draft — not yet in effect

This agreement is version 0.9, awaiting approval by the MGTI Certification Scheme Committee. It is published here so that candidates and prospective proctors can read what proctoring an MGTI examination involves. It takes effect on approval, and this page will be updated when it does.

This is the agreement MGTI presents to every person who proctors one of its certification examinations. It is reproduced here for reference. If you have been designated as a proctor, MGTI will contact you directly and present the agreement for your acceptance — you do not accept it, or make any attestation, on this page.

Made under §3.7 of the MGTI Policies and Procedures.

1. Who this applies to, and when

This agreement applies to every person who serves as proctor for an MGTI certification examination, whether MGTI personnel or a proctor designated by the candidate.

It is given in two parts.

Part 2 is presented when you are designated, before the examination. It sets out who may serve, what proctoring an MGTI examination involves, and what you will be asked to confirm afterwards.

Part 3 is presented after the examination. It is the attestation. Each statement is acknowledged separately, and the completed attestation is your record of what you observed.

No certification is issued until MGTI has received and recorded your attestation. If MGTI does not receive it, the certification is not processed and the matter is referred to the Program Administrator. A proctor who does not respond is not treated as having confirmed.

2. Undertakings — given when you are designated

Specimen — this is what a designated proctor is shown.

You have been asked to proctor a certification examination for [candidate name] — [certification].

MGTI certifies people who install and maintain the medical gas systems that hospitals depend on. The examination has to mean something, and it means something because someone independent watched it happen. That person is you.

You may not act as proctor if you are:

a member of the candidate's immediate family;
someone who stands to gain financially from this individual becoming certified, beyond the ordinary interest an employer has in a qualified workforce;
the candidate's instructor for the training that led to this examination;
another candidate for an MGTI certification; or
the candidate themselves.

A supervisor, manager, or co-worker may serve as proctor. MGTI relies on your professional standing, which is what makes this workable.

Proctoring this examination means:

confirming the candidate is who they say they are, from photo identification;
being present while the candidate takes the examination;
ensuring the candidate works alone, and uses no materials other than those MGTI permits for this examination;
not viewing, copying, recording, or retaining any examination content.

After the examination you will be asked to confirm what you observed. A certification is not issued until you do. If you are unwilling or unable to proctor, tell MGTI and it will work with the candidate to designate someone else.

3. Attestation — given after the examination

Specimen — the live attestation is sent to you by MGTI. Nothing on this page is submitted.

Proctor attestation — [candidate name], [certification], [date]

Acknowledge each statement. Each is a separate statement of fact.

Eligibility. I am not a member of the candidate's immediate family, do not stand to gain financially from their certification beyond an employer's ordinary interest in a qualified workforce, was not their instructor for the training leading to this examination, am not myself a candidate for an MGTI certification, and am not the candidate.
Identity. I confirmed the candidate's identity from photo identification before the examination began.
Presence. I was present while the candidate took the examination.
Independence. The candidate completed the examination alone and received no assistance from me or anyone else.
Materials. The candidate used no materials other than those MGTI permits for this examination.
Confidentiality. I did not view, copy, record, photograph, or retain any examination content, and I will not disclose anything I saw of it.
Truthfulness. I understand that MGTI relies on this attestation to issue a certification. If it is untrue, the candidate's certification may be withdrawn, and MGTI may decline to accept me as a proctor in future.

Submit attestation

Something wrong? If you did not proctor this examination, were not present throughout, or are not comfortable making any statement above, do not submit this form. Use I cannot confirm this instead — it tells MGTI without asserting anything, and MGTI will contact the candidate.

4. If you cannot confirm

A proctor who is unwilling or unable to attest says so, and asserts nothing else. MGTI provides an explicit route to decline at both stages, and declining carries no consequence for the proctor.

Where a proctor declines, or does not respond, the certification is not processed and the matter is referred to the Program Administrator. MGTI contacts the candidate and, where appropriate, works with them to designate another proctor.

5. Reliance, and the consequence of a false attestation

MGTI issues certifications in reliance on the proctor's attestation.

Where an attestation is found to be untrue, the candidate's certification is subject to withdrawal under §5.2 of the Policies and Procedures, and MGTI may decline to accept that person as a proctor in future. Because the candidate designates the proctor, the candidate is responsible for that designation.

6. What MGTI records

For every proctored examination MGTI retains:

the version of this agreement presented;
each acknowledgement made at Part 3;
the proctor's name, role, and organization;
the date and time of the attestation; and
where a proctor declined or did not respond, that fact and the date.

These records are retained for the current certification cycle plus three years, in accordance with §9.9 of the Policies and Procedures.

7. Confidentiality

Examination content is confidential and is the copyrighted property of the Medical Gas Training Institute. A proctor who views any part of it in the course of proctoring shall not copy, reproduce, record, photograph, distribute, disclose, or discuss it, during or after the examination.

8. Effect

This agreement takes effect on the date shown in the document control block above and applies to every certification examination proctored on or after that date. It is reviewed annually by the Certification Scheme Committee and on any revision of §3.7 of the Policies and Procedures.

Been designated as a proctor?

MGTI will contact you directly with the agreement to accept, and again after the examination with the attestation. Nothing is accepted or submitted on this page.
