Common use of AO Certification Clause in Contracts

AO Certification. An application for AO certification must be filed with the Department on a form prescribed by the Department. The Department will evaluate the written application submitted by the AO, and if satisfactory, schedule an on-site inspection of the AO’s physical location. The AO must allow the Department or FMCSA to inspect and audit its operations, facilities, and records as they relate to its Third-Party Testing program, for the purpose of determining whether the AO is qualified to be certified to administer CDL tests. A Certification will be issued to an AO meeting all the requirements in this Memorandum of Understanding and enters into an agreement with the Department to operate an approved testing program to administer tests to CDL Applicants. The certificate issued by the Department allowing an AO to operate under the Third-Party CDL Skills Testing Program must remain on file at the physical location of the AO. Agreements to administer Third-Party Skills Testing programs, including third-party tester certificates, are non-assignable. Each agreement and certificate will become effective on the date of issuance and will expire four years from the effective date, unless otherwise cancelled or revoked. All renewal application forms must be filed with the Department not less than 60 days prior to the time the certificate or agreement expires. The Department is not responsible for the timely issuance of any renewal certificate when the application is not received within the necessary timeframe. Any AO may relinquish its certificate and agreement upon 30 days written notice to the Department.
