Te obvious main challenge when
conducting instrument proficiency training and mock tests online is that the instructor must be able to monitor the student in real time as the mock tests are being conducted. Tis means that the student must have someone to act as a mock donor for all tests. Aſter experimenting with Skype for observation of mock tests, we have found that video conferencing utilizing an external, adjustable camera to be a beter solution. Tis method also allows for use of presentations to review processes and explanations with the donor before each mock test. When considering online BAT training options, we have found it to
be imperative that the student has an actual EBT instrument with them when going through the self-study material. It is extremely important that the student practice with the device before atempting any mock tests. A good trainer should also be able to show the correct way to handle many different testing scenarios such as positive results, refusals, accuracy checks, equipment malfunctions, etc.—through a combination of online self-study modules and a video conference session. In summary, prospective BATs, and their
employers, should evaluate online testing programs the same way that they would evaluate classroom programs. Cost is
