Good morning,
We wanted to make you aware of some issues with certification exam results. All of our instructors, host facilities where we teach (in Birmingham and across the US), as well as our staff have all had questions regarding why they have not received their IICRC certifications and exam results in a timely manner. And by timely manner, we mean the 6-8 weeks we have grown accustomed to receiving them in. We now have a few more answers than we did last week so wanted to make sure and share them with you. We updated news on our website yesterday and called each of those that have had concerns the past month or so as well as posted on our Facebook page. We want to make sure that we all are as informed as we can be since it affects each of you as much as it does each of us.
According to the IICRC yesterday (6/2/2015), they have now finished grading exams taken through the month of February 2015. Those exams are being updated in their system by registrant and results are being sent out to the registrant. The results are sent via email if there was an email provided by the registrant on the testing forms. The results are also being mailed along with the certificate and IICRC certification packet to the address selected by the registrant on the testing forms. Yes, we know that it is now June and these classes were taken in February...so this is the same for our classes taken in March and April as well. Unfortunately, we are still in the waiting game.
The IICRC is aware of the issues and complaints and are working to correct the problems. They have hired more to double the staff and hopefully be able to have the exams processed faster in order to get caught back up. However, if you do have specific questions or want to voice your opinion, you can call the IICRC direct at 775-553-5458 or email them at info@iicrc.org.
If you are wondering how this could have happened or why the change? The IICRC switched management firms in February when the contract was set to expire. KCI had managed the IICRC with Tom Hill as Executive Administrator for the last 30 years. The IICRC Board of Directors selected Metacred as the new institute management service provider as of February 2015. Here are some frequently asked questions regarding the transition. So yes, this is a new company that is learning about the IICRC and what we are about and are working on getting exams processed for us all.
Again, I apologize for the delays and hope as much as you do that they can get the issue corrected in a more timely manner. Make sure to like our Facebook page as we will post any updates we receive in the meantime. We also want to let you know that even if you have taken a course that is a prerequisite for others and have not received the results, you can still take the next course. So, if you have taken the WRT course you can still take the ASD, AMRT, and CDS courses without receiving your results from the preliminary course.
As always, contact us if you have any questions. We're here for your training and certification needs. Thanks again for your patience!
