The Terminal Agency Coordinator (TAC) must sign all students up for an ACCESS class because they keep track of all their users’ certification/expiration dates. Ensure students have completed the appropriate level of security awareness training prior to enrolling them. The TAC should ensure they are enrolling the student in the appropriate level class.

All personnel that have unescorted access to Criminal Justice Information (CJI) must complete the Security Awareness training that are not ACCESS certified. This may include your agency’s custodial, Information Technology (IT) staff, facilities personnel, administrative support staff, upper management, and prosecutor’s office staff. This training must be completed every year.

All criminal justice employees must be fingerprinted, both state and nationally under the employing criminal justice agency’s ORI, PRIOR to being granted unescorted access to unencrypted Criminal Justice Information (CJI). Notify ACCESS at: access@wsp.wa.gov and we will move the employee to your certification list.

You have TWO hours to complete the test. If you have to leave in the middle of testing, you will need to LOG OUT by selecting the Logoff button. If you fail to log out properly, you will fail the test and will be required to go back to class.

To continue your test please refer to pages 3 through 5 in the NexTEST user guide found on the ACCESS webpage.

If you fail or expire you will be required to go back to a class. Your Terminal Agency Coordinator (TAC) must request Remedial Training to be added to your record. Once added by WSP ACCESS, Remedial Security training will be found within the “Other Certifications”. Once you complete your remedial training and test, your TAC can sign you up for class.
