Workforce Professional Development Program Guidelines

Version 4

• Your written intent-to-test and corresponding fees must be received in the IAWP Administrative Office by the 15th of the month prior to testing.
• You may test in the months of January, April, July, October and annually at the International Educational Conference, typically held in June. Chapters must schedule testing sites by the 1st of the month prior to testing.
• You may take up to two tests during each testing session.
• You may participate in more than one testing session per testing month.
• You may test in any subchapter, chapter or district offering testing that month.
• You may take the tests in any order. However, you will not receive the "Specialist" or "Master" designation until you have successfully completed the History of Workforce Development exam.
• IAWP will mail your test scores to you by the end of the month following testing. No test scores will be given over the phone.
• A score of 75 is required to pass the 100-multiple-choice-question test.
• You may retest as many times as you desire during your 24-month period for the published retest fee. You need to pay the retest fee only if you fail, not if you were unexpectedly absent.
• You have 24 months from your initial testing enrollment to successfully complete the entire PDP program. Regardless of whether you enroll for individual tests or the complete set, you have 24 months to successfully complete all four tests, should the Workforce Development Master designation be your goal. If you wish to test in less than four areas (i.e. if you do not wish to become a Master), you are not required to purchase all four tests.
• If you do not successfully complete the program in 24 months and later wish to continue, you will be required to pay a one-time re-enrollment fee, in addition to the cost of any yet-to-be-purchased exams or retest fees. The re-enrollment fee is the purchase of an additional 24 months - you are buying time. You must still pay exam or retest fees. The re-enrollment fee applies even if you are in a retest status when your 24 months expire.
• IAWP requests that participants use their home address for all correspondence, including exam and resource guide purchases. This ensures the confidentiality of test scores.
