Coaching Reports
We are experiencing an issue with the Coaching Reports at the end of our assessments. On the coaching report, the score listed at the top with the students name is correct. However, the breakdown of questions by topic area at the bottom is not registering correctly. We have contacted the software company and are in the process of getting the issue resolved. Please check back here for updates on this issue. Once the issue is corrected, the changes will be retroactive. You should be able to re-print any coaching reports with the correct information.

Competency Certificates
We are currently printing and mailing competency certificates every week. Printing occurs on Fridays, and certificates are normally mailed out by the following Monday. These are mailed to each school's testing liaison for distribution. As the end of each school term approaches, we will increase the frequency of printing and distribution as testing increases. For information concerning reprints of incorrectly printed certificates, please see below. (March 2011)
Notice to Testing Liaisons: Certificate Errors
Please make certain student names are spelled and capitalized correctly when entered into the online system. Due to the expense and sheer volume of certificates that need to be printed and mailed, there will be a $5.00 per certificate charge for reprint due to input error on your end. Payment should be in the form of a P.O., school credit card, or money order payable to CIMC. Their mailing address is 1500 W. Seventh Ave., Stillwater, OK 74074.
