If the 2022-2023 academic year is the first year your school district offers a CTE course that requires a national certification, please send us a Help Desk ticket so we can ensure we have the proper number of resources and testing inventory on hand for all CTE students in our state.
Fall Testing Option:
If your district chose to test ASE or ServSafe this fall, you will receive voucher information by Nov. 4. In order to receive voucher information, your students must be uploaded and verified in the RCU portal. The deadline to complete the verification of rosters is Oct. 31.
Not all tests within the ASE suite would need to be taken within one window. These may be split over both the fall and spring windows but must be taken within the specified testing window dates.
Information Technology (IT):
Schools offering IT need to contact the RCU via Help Desk if their instructor has not received their TestOut resources. If test coordinators have not been added to the class, please submit a Help Desk ticket. More information about what test coordinators will need to do in this class will be given at Test Coordinator Training.
NCCER Module Testing:
For the 2022-2023 school year, MDE requires that one of the following options be followed regarding proctoring NCCER module tests.
Option 1:
-
Any NCCER-certified proctor who is not an NCCER teacher can give a module test alone. There is no need for a second person if the proctor is not an NCCER teacher.
Option 2:
-
If an NCCER teacher proctors the module test, a second person must be in the room. This person does not have to be NCCER certified; however, a document provided to the district must be signed and filed explaining the rules of the testing environment. (The second person could be another NCCER teacher.)
Pre-PAC in Early Childhood Education:
If your district offers Early Childhood Education, your test coordinator should complete the site approval form for 2022-2023 as soon as possible. The link for this form can be found in the Pre-PAC Survival Guide.
Solid Works:
SolidWorks login and download information will be delivered via email to instructors soon. Be looking for that email. It should arrive no later than the end of October.
