Presenters flag gaps in training and certification as bill’s implementation is discussed
Summary
Presenters told the meeting that Puerto Rico faces certification and instructor shortfalls, raising questions about who will be authorized to certify and how manuals and training will be updated to meet any new bill’s requirements.
Presenters and staff at the meeting raised concerns about the practical aspects of implementing certification and instructor training tied to the chamber bill.
Marcos, a presenter, described barriers to implementation including administrative burden and quality-control problems, calling for clearer standards on who may certify and what the certification manual must require.
A speaker referenced specific manual content and implementation steps, noting "page five" in relation to certification procedures and pointing to a need for modifications to the manual and training curriculum. A presenter also mentioned Master instructor roles and referenced a named instructor in the transcript, "Nicole Nick Phoenix," as an example of a certificate holder discussed during the session.
Speakers underscored the importance of reducing bureaucratic barriers and streamlining certification processes while ensuring qualified professionals perform assessments. They also noted that project accountability and information — including links to federal funding programs — must be clarified before any operational rollout.
No final determination on instructor accreditation or manual revisions was recorded in the transcript; presenters requested follow-up documentation and clearer administrative guidance.
