Master Driver Trainer Practice Exam

Who selects the license instructor examiner?

1. The instructor

2. The unit commander

3. The safety officer

4. The assistant commander

The correct answer is: The unit commander

The selection of the license instructor examiner is typically the responsibility of the unit commander. This role involves significant oversight and accountability for the training and evaluation processes within the unit, ensuring that the instructor examiners are appropriately qualified and capable of assessing the skills and knowledge of the trainees effectively. The unit commander has the authority to make personnel decisions and assigns individuals who will ensure that standards are met and maintained throughout the licensing process. In contrast, the other roles mentioned, such as the instructor, safety officer, and assistant commander, may have specific duties related to training and safety but do not hold the authority to select the instructor examiner, which is aligned more closely with the unit commander's responsibilities. This structure ensures that the selection is made at a leadership level that has a comprehensive view of the program's needs and objectives.
