It is suitable for ACC Approved assessors and those seeking approval from ACC to become assessors.

Diane Clare will facilitate this workshop using ZOOM.
PLEASE NOTE: your attendance for this training is not a guarantee of ACC approval for you to become an assessor nor is it part of ACC's in-house training as it is a clinician's take on the challenges in this task.
