This certificate requires completion of the first level Certificate in Evaluation Practice, plus additional instruction designed to lead to an increased breadth and depth of understanding of the comprehensive array of approaches and theories of evaluation practice. It is for experienced evaluators and others who wish to expand their evaluation horizons, deepen their understandings, and increase their abilities to produce high quality evaluations tailored to programs that vary in nature and scope and that serve diverse audiences.
This Certificate meets the second requirement for the Master Evaluator Certificate.
