Looking to the collective for an opinion regarding the above. Would you consider an internship in a TSA if the internship met the SVP level as identified in the DOT?  Would you consider the internship in a TSA if it did not? Would you just not use an internship in a TSA irregardless of whether it did or did not meet the SVP?

Thank you for your time

I would consider the internship if there was an attached grade to it. However, I am not quite sure if you are indicating that the SVP level is higher or lower than the rest of the SVP levels. It would give you an understanding of the person's skill level, but the length of time served under an internship would be short. That being said, I would still run it to get an understanding of the person's functioning level via DOT standards.
