Subject Matter Expert (SME) Recruitment

What is a Subject Matter Expert (SME)?

A subject-matter expert (SME) is a person who has accumulated great knowledge in a particular field or topic and this level of knowledge is demonstrated by the person’s degree, licensure, and/or through years of professional experience with the subject.

How do I know if I am an “expert”?

Why does NAWCO need SME’s?

SME’s help in the creation of new exams by contributing their expertise to writing exam questions, reviewing content, and providing feedback. This helps NAWCO to ensure that our examination content is relevant and up to date.

I’ve never been an SME before. Can I still participate?

Yes! NAWCO and our exam development team will train interested individuals.
