2024 Test Out Date
BY APPOINTMENT ONLY, call Audrey Dimmerling, 4-H Educator to schedule at 330-870-1165
Test out Guidelines:
- Youth ages 12-14 years of age who pass the QA test out will need to retake the test when they reach the age of 15
- Youth ages 15-18 years of age who pass the QA test can test out of their annual QA program permanently
- All ages are based on a member's 4-H age (the age that they are as of January 1 of the current year)
What will be on the Quality Assurance Test?
This year the test will primarily be over the Good Production Practices 1, 3, 6 and 10 but other Good Production Practices will be included. We are no longer able to have the review session before the test, so we recommend that members study their 4-H project resource books focusing on the Quality Assurance section of the book.
