It's fun to compete in the IC3 World Cup and have a chance at winning something material to show for all your hard work, but we all know the real reason behind IC3 certification: To help set students up to succeed in a technological world. With technology, the rules are changing all the time, but it is my opinion that IC3 just introduces a person into the conversation and afterwards, they are prepared to continue learning and keep pace with the rest of the world. No matter who wins the IC3 Cup, at the end of this competition, thousands of students will be educated in computer literacy and that is far more important than prizes or recognition.
On that note, here are a few words of advice from one successful Authorized Instructor, Janice Cheever (Laramie County Community College in Wyoming, USA)...
1. We use the practice tests from Certiport, but find that they normally do not address some of the skills as is needed on the exam. We have created additional exercises that develop those skills along with the Virtual Learning Center software that is used.
2. We hold review sessions for each of the three modules as students are beginning to prepare for the testing.
3. If students are still not passing after this preparation, and we have had some who do not, especially on the Computing Fundamentals; we have textbooks that we make available in our lab that reflect the learning skills needed for the IC3. Examples include: Computer Literacy Basics: A Guide to IC3 certification; Discovering Computers and other basic computer textbooks.
