All AATT Trainers/Evaluators must be approved through the requirements of IAQG ICOP Resolution #126, which states: “TPs offering IAQG Sanctioned AATT training shall conform to all of the organizational requirements established in 9104-003 and ensure that their instructors have successfully completed the IAQG sanctioned ASDE ‘train the trainer’ course and any other required IAQG sanctioned updates for this course.”

Trainers/evaluators who already passed the ASDE and wish to train the revised AATT course must complete the following update process:

• Successfully complete the 9100:2016 Online Update Component (9100 Delta) program.
• Purchase the IAQG 9100:2016 AATT Trainer/Evaluator Update Package. The update activity consists of two parts:
  • Part 1: Training Exercises and Envelope Activities Alignment – ensures the trainer is familiar with the updated training material, activities, sequencing, and flow. Part 1 will be available for purchase beginning on 19 October 2017 for trainers who successfully completed the 9100:2016 Online Update Component. Upon completion of the Part 1 activities, the trainer must submit completed assignments for review. Feedback will be provided to the trainer in 10 working days.

Upon completion of the Part 2 activity, the evaluator must submit the completed assignment for review. Feedback will be provided to the evaluator in 5 working days. Once feedback is provided for this activity, the trainer/evaluator will receive digital copies of the updated trainer/evaluator course materials.
• The Trainer/Evaluator is to provide all feedback to their Training Provider (TP). The TP is responsible for addressing any resulting feedback with the Trainer/Evaluator.
• This approval process will be monitored by the Training Provider Approval Body (TPAB), including the any corrective action taken by the TP resulting from feedback received from the ASDE, as well as feedback from the Trainer/Evaluator Update Process.
