This short video is designed to help you get into the Learning Centre and quickly become productive. It shows you how to get enrolled on the full range of ITC courses and how to log in as an ITC Individual Member.
We strongly recommend that you get used to using the tools on the site before embarking on any courses.
13. Why is access to the Learning Centre not free to Full and
Affiliate members?
We believe that this is a cost-effective and practical
contribution to make to the raising of testing standards and good practice and fits with the mission of the ITC.
The
Constitution of the ITC states that the
ITC shall “establish and promulgate guidelines governing test development and
use, organize international meetings, foster discussions on test development
and use, advance professional development in reference to test development and
use, promote the publication of relevant information through the
International Journal of Testing and other publications, stimulate
international cooperation on research and other forms of scholarship in ways
that promote scientifically and ethically sound testing practices, and consult
with others on the development and use of tests."
15. Can I arrange for the materials to be translated?
There is a great deal of content – the paper version of the e-book
pages alone comes to over 1,000 A4 pages, without counting the portfolio pages
and the test packs. However, the ITC would be keen to discuss licencing the
content to competent authorities and to work with them in order for them to produce an acceptable translation.

For Course 5, 6 and
7 it does make a difference. If you are NOT
registered for the Certificate of Competence programme, you are advised to use
the CPD Modules. The full Courses contain assignments which require grading by
ITC Assessors, and you would have to pay for this. The cost for getting
all 19 Assignments graded, completing a short Multiple-choice Exam, and being awarded the Certificate of
Competence at the end will be around £530[1].
There is actually nothing to stop you
from doing these assignments without getting them graded. At the end when you ‘submit’
your work you will be told to wait for it to be graded. However, without having
paid for the service, you work will be left ungraded. You can continue working
through the Courses leaving the ungraded assignments ungraded. However, this
has an impact on Course Completion Certificates. You can only get these for Course
5, 6 and 7 if you complete the courses and ‘completion’ includes getting
assignments graded. If these are not graded, you cannot ‘pass’ these, and so
they are treated as omitted activities.
You can, however, do all three of these
courses using the CPD Module versions of them. These contain self-assessed
versions of the same assignments as are in the graded assignment versions. If
you do this, you will get CPD Module Completion Certificates and it will not
cost you anything. Note that in the CPD format, the Assignments are labelled
CPD Assignments and are for self-assessment only.
If you complete all of Courses 5, 6 and
7 as CPD Modules and then decide you want to do get the ITC Certificate of
Competence in Test Use (Level 2), you should ask ITC-Admin to register you for
the special Assignment Modules. These cover all 19 assignments from
Courses 5, 6 and 7, which you will have completed in their self-assessed
formats as CPD. You will need to pay the fee for assessment and certification. If
you kept good notes when you went through these as exercises in the CPD
modules, you will be able to go through
them again very quickly, but this time you will be able to submit them for
assessment and grading. Once you have passed these, you will be enrolled on the
final multiple-choice assessment and then, if all is well, be awarded your
Certificate.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to create a course?
