Assessor Application Forms and Requirements

  • Assessor Application Form (PDF)
  • Assessment Organization Application Form (PDF)

The Minnesota Statutes amendments include provisions for approval of employees of state or federal agencies with established agreements for mutual assistance or recognition with MDH. Therefore, state and federal employees should not use this application process.

After review of the applications, the selection committee will report their recommendations to MNELAP. MNELAP will post a list of qualified assessors and assessment organizations on its webpage and send notifications to applicants. Please note that meeting the qualifications and requirements does not guarantee acceptance as an assessor.

All approved assessors and assessment organizations must adhere to the responsibilities listed in the MDH Data Practices and Security Checklist. This checklist must be provided to all personnel involved with MNELAP assessments and must be acknowledged and signed by the individual assessor or a designee from the assessor organization. This checklist must also be acknowledged and signed by MNELAP.
