Looking for Ways to Earn More Points?

Hi everyone! How is testing going? Just a few weeks left of the competition, but I know this is the time when lots of centers kick it into high gear testing their students at the end of the year, so it's going to be really interesting to see how the top 10 shuffles up between now and May 15th!

Now for some tips to leave you with before I take off for a week...

Remember, the #1 way to earn points is obviously to get more people involved in IC3 training and certification! Jorge Luis Garcia Argandoña, former coach of Colegio Universitario Boston, and IC3 Cup winner for the past two years explained that the root of the organization's success was making IC3 a priority and advertising.

He said, "...It was decided to invest in technology and extend it to all of the regional campuses, through massive campaigns in the communications media (television, radio, local and national newspapers, flyers, advertising material, events, employment fairs, student fairs, massive technology events, etc)."

Remember, anyone can join your team and become IC3 certified - students, teachers, parents - anyone that can benefit from the knowledge and/or credentials! Best of luck to you in your endeavors.

Have a great week everyone. I know I will!
