ODCTE Certificate Notice
As the busy year-end approaches, please remember that Competency Certificates are no longer available online. The new certificate is now printed and distributed by the Testing Division.
This means that instructors and testing staff should schedule competency testing so that certificates can be received before the school year ends. We are currently printing and mailing certificates every two weeks, but will increase the frequency as testing increases.
Rest assured that we will do everything possible to make sure your students leave with certificates in hand. However, if you are concerned that you may not get them before school ends, please give us a call! (April 2009)
Student Competitions
To obtain usernames and passwords for student competitions, please contact the occupational divisions.

Catch the WAVE (but maybe not just yet!)
The change is coming, but we may have updated our registration fields in the tests a little early! If you have the student's WAVE ID issued by the Oklahoma State Department of Education, please use the number for student registration. If you don't have the WAVE ID number, please use a numerical identifier that is unique to each student (i.e., school student ID, social security) in that field. REMEMBER: The number must be 10 digits in length. If the number you use has less than 10 digits, please add zeroes to the FRONT of the number. (For example, 445566 would need to be input as 0000445566). (September 2008)

BIG changes for the 2008-09 year include: retake, cheating, and misuse policies, guidelines for determining when students should test, revised data distribution policies, etc. Please print and keep this on hand for easy reference during busy testing times! (September 2008)
