The Nevada Registry is excited to announce the creation of the Training Approval System (TAS) Advisory Workgroup. The workgroup is designed to help guide the ongoing development of The Nevada Registry's newly implemented trainer criteria, approval and qualification process.

- Exploring other components of the new and improved training approval system related to quality assurance (i.e., evaluation, observations, etc.);
- Creating an evaluation process for approved trainers to evaluate the Training Approval System annually; and
- Providing overall support to The Nevada Registry in the community related to trainer criteria.
