Change in Germany Testing Area Approved

The ICAPGen Board has approved a change in the Germany testing area. At present, there is only one testing region for all of Germany. There will no longer be a single Germany Region accreditation; there will be three accreditation regions: East, South, and Northwest. Candidates may turn in an application and test in the third quarter (August) 2018 for the Germany region, after which no further applications will be accepted for the Germany Region.  After that time, applicants will choose one of the three new areas for which to test.

The creation of three regions will allow candidates to specialize in one region of Germany, although accreditations for the other two regions can be earned later.  Those people who already have a Germany accreditation will be able to renew that in perpetuity and will not need to become accredited in one of the other regions, although they may, if they choose to do so.

The accompanying map shows the new regions.

Needed: “Raters” for ICAPGen℠ Applications and Renewals

Many hands make light work!many hands

You made it through the accreditation process—congratulations! Go ahead and rest on your laurels—you earned it!

Now you have an opportunity to be a part of the process for others, by volunteering to be a “rater” for new applications and renewals.  We need your experience and expertise to help ICAPGen run smoothly.  Please consider making yourself available for at least one turn at rating this coming year—one turn by many people would make a big difference!

We need raters for every testing region.  You will be given a rating form and very clear and objective guidelines to follow as you rate applications and renewals.  Try it and you will see it is not scary. We promise!
