What is the minimum score required for instructor licensure on the written examination?

To obtain an instructor licensure on the written examination, a candidate must achieve a minimum scaled score of 75. This requirement is established to ensure that instructors possess adequate knowledge and understanding of relevant laws and sanitation practices critical to maintaining safety and compliance standards in their field.

A scaled score allows for a consistent measurement across different test versions, ensuring fairness in assessing candidates' capabilities regardless of variations in test difficulty. This level of scoring helps maintain the quality of instruction by confirming that only those with a sufficiently strong grasp of the material are eligible for certification, which ultimately contributes to public health and safety within the relevant industries.
