Re the ability of interim licensees to provide supervision towards the supervision requirement
 

To qualify for licensure as a conventional onsite soil evaluator, an applicant who does not have an interim license   (such as an applicant  who was not previously an AOSE authorized by VDH)  must pass an examination and have a combination of education and years of experience working under the supervision of a Conventional or Alternative Onsite Soil Evaluator.

Will time spent working under the supervision of an an interim Onsite Soil Evaluator- (an AOSE who has been given an interim license)- qualify as time towards the years of experience working under supervision of a licensee?   If  not, it may be years before there are enough licensed indivduals to supervise the unlicensed ones.  They will have to wait for the interim licensees to become regular licensees
