Life Jacket Wear Study Observer
A potential AUXLWO Study Observer must review the
AUXLWO Standard Operating Procedures. A trainee must then complete the
online training program available from partner organization JSI. A quiz is required to move on to practical training. Training requires use of observation equipment and reviewing data quality reports. The trainee's final test is to achieve 98% accuracy on two supervised observations.
Maintaining certification
To keep an active certification as an AUXLWO Observer, you must remain active in the study and complete an
annual refresher training program. Observers have to repeat the full course in their second year of certification.
