TAICEP Certificate Program
In the previous edition of TAICEP Talk, we introduced our new Certificate Program. One of TAICEP’s primary goals was the creation of a certification program, and we are proud to announce that it has come to fruition. The late David Millar of TAICEP’s Professional Development Committee began the initial research on the development of a certification program. The Certification Committee was created when it became apparent that a certification program required a separate committee.
The pilot group for the Foundation Certificate is now full, and we are not currently accepting applications. We expect to begin accepting applications again in January 2018 and will send out a notification. If you would like to be notified when the Foundation Certificate is open again for application, please email answers@taicep.org with your request for notification. Thank you!
You can also read more about the Certificate Program at https://www.taicep.org/taiceporgwp/certificate-program/ The Committee would also love to have more TAICEP members from outside of North America join the committee.
Capstone Reviewers for TAICEP Certificate Program
The Certification Committee is seeking reviewers for the Capstone Examination portion of the Foundation Certificate. The Capstone Examination is the third and final step of the Foundation Certificate in which candidates must answer questions regarding six credentials, provide an equivalency/assessment outcome, and outline the rationale for their equivalency/assessment outcome. The Capstone Examination reviewer will assess the accuracy of the answers as well as the strength of the equivalency/assessment outcome and rationale.
If you are interested in being a Capstone Examination reviewer, please send a statement of interest and your answers to the questions below to TAICEPcertification@gmail.com. You must be a member of TAICEP and have at least 5 years of full-time experience in credentials evaluation to be a Capstone Examination Reviewer.
- How many evaluations do you prepare or review per year?
- What percentage of your day is spent preparing or reviewing evaluations?
- How did you gain your professional knowledge of credentials evaluation?
- Please list the conferences/workshops/webinars you have attended in the past 5 years.
- Please describe your experience in reviewing and approving evaluations written by other evaluators
2018 Action Plans
Since we met at our annual conference in Rome, the Executive Board (EB) has been working with incoming officers to craft goals for our association for 2018. The purpose of setting goals for ourselves is to grow the organization both in numbers and in depth by offering quality programs and services that benefit TAICEP members.
You may remember that our goals are set using the Strategic Plan that the EB made at our Rome meeting. TAICEP’s three primary goals for 2018 are:
- Certification;
- Professional development; and
- Finances
In order to support the Strategic Plan, the EB tasked each committee with creating an Action Plan. Action Plans outline which tasks and goals each of the committees plan to accomplish in 2018. Goals should support the Strategic Plan.
The committees are pleased to present their Action Plans to the membership for your review, which you can read here.
The TAICEP Executive Board invites your comments, questions, and suggestions on the 2018 Action Plans. Please contact us at answers@taicep.org.
Additionally, we are always looking for new committee members! Please consider sharing your time, enthusiasm, and brain power by joining a committee! For more information, please contact answers@taicep.org.
The TAICEP EB wishes you another successful year of international credential evaluating. Please remember to tell your colleagues about TAICEP!
