NMRA Achievement Program

In simple terms, the Achievement Program (AP) is a travel guide to help you on your journey through the world of model railroading. The AP also provides incentive to learn and master the many crafts and skills necessary in the hobby of model railroading. With the completion of each category, you will be issued a certificate acknowledging your achievement. (From NMRA web site)

Achievement Program Evaluation

Any member in need of Achievement Program Evaluation has several choices:

1 - Bring items to be evaluated to a 1^st Division Mini Meet. Be sure to notify one of the team of evaluators of the items you wish to have evaluated, and the Achievement Certificate to which you wish to have those items apply. Have appropriate paper work prepared for scoring and signatures.

All forms are available at the NMRA Achievement Program web site http://www.nmra.org/education/achievement/apcat.html
 
2 - Bring the items to be evaluated to a Regional or National conference. Evaluation is a planned part of these conferences. Again, have the appropriate paperwork prepared when you enter the item.

3 - Members with non-portable items to be evaluated, such as track work on a home or club layout, will need an on-site team of two or three certified evaluators visit. Contact one of the Division 1 evaluators.
