-And hopefully you. We want as many people available to do Tier 1 certification as we can get. The idea is to promote safety, and get people used to the sounds that a machine tool cutting well makes. Ed has a script that he's working on, and will make available. If you're confident you know how to use the tier 1 tools well, the test is to teach the certification to one of the people who already is a Tier 1 Certifier.

+New authorizers get authorized to authorize others by (1) having some
+amount of presence in the shop and (2) closely following the "script"
+during EITHER a "dry-run" authorizing session given to an authorized
+authorizer -- or conducting a real-live authorizing session while being
+observed by an authorized authorizer. During such a session, the
+observing authorizer should _not_ have to speak. Obviously if the new
+authorizer-to-be has _significant_ problems in communication of the
+content of the "script", the observing authorizer will contribute to the
+discussion. For the new authorizer-to-be it's a test, not an opportunity
+for team-teaching.
