Reporting Certifications for the 2023-24 School Year:
Please report industry certifications (including Career Readiness (NCRC)) on the reporting form; our office will report these to the state for you. This spreadsheet is for free and Perkins-paid certifications, including passed and failed attempts. You should report your certifications as soon as testing is complete for that one exam/certification. If your students are certifying in multiple certifications, make sure to report to our office after testing is finished before moving on to another exam/certification. Example- After testing in Microsoft Word, report those. After testing in Microsoft Excel, report those. After testing in First Aid/CPR, report those.
