Taking a certification examination has never been easier.
If you are planning to get certified and earn the designation CIMP (Certified Internet
Meeting Professional) - there is good news:
CIMPA has partnered with George Mason University HyperLearning Center to allow you to
take unlimited review sessions on the internet. You take the actual examination onsite at
George Mason University or at CIMPA's Annual Conference.
Here's how it works:
 | Fax your application form to 1 267 390 5193 or email to
info@cimpa.org. |
| As soon as your payment ($295) for the online review classes is received, an instructor
will contact you by email to give you your user ID and password. |
| Go to the George Mason University HyperLearning Meter site. Address will
be given to you when you register. |
| Click on Student Sign-On |
| A dialogue will appear asking for your Course, Section, user ID and password. Type Cimpa
for Course, 102 for section and the user ID and password which your instructor gave you.
Click ok and the main screen will appear. If this does not happen, click here for help |
| Click on CONCEPT MAP to see the concepts where you will be tested. |
| Click on SELF-ASSESSMENT to take tests for review purposes. You can take tests on as
many concepts for as many times as you like. The self-assessment screens will point you to
specific sections of the online references. Simply click on the hyperlink. |
For example, if you are testing on "Fax Over The Internet", you will see a
hyperlink to the specific section of your reference book on "Fax Over The
Internet".
You can skip concepts you have already mastered and jump to concepts you find
difficult. You determine what, when and where you learn.
| Click on VIRTUAL COACH to see how you are doing. You will see the color-coded concept
map.
 | Concepts that are colored Green means you have done well in
those concepts |
| Red means you are failing; |
| Yellow is borderline; |
| Gray means you have not tested in these areas. |
|
Your goal is to see a sea of green. When all the concepts
on your concept map are colored green, you are ready to make an appointment with a
proctor.
Occasionally, you will see a message from your instructor. These could be notes of
commendation, encouragement, suggestion - or he may just say "Hello!". Your
instructor monitors your progress. He checks his virual record to know how often you are
testing, how you are doing, what you are doing wrong and where you are doing well. If
necessary, he will call you or point you to more references.
Making an
appointment for your examination:
| Send in your examination fee ($195) and tell your instructor by email when and where you
want to take the examination. He will send you by email the name of the proctor and
telephone number to call. |
| You call that proctor and set your own appointment. |
On the day of the exam:
| Plan to arrive at the testing center about 15 minutes before the exam begins. |
| The proctor will log you in and instruct you on what to do. |
| You will have 3 hours to complete the examination. |
After the exam:
| Your examination results will be accessed by your instructor who will give you either a
pass or fail grade. |
| If you pass, a distinctive pin and certificate will be mailed to you. Or if you prefer,
you can accept these at a formal ceremony during the annual conference. |
You will be authorized to use the designation CIMP after your name for one year. You
will need to take refresher courses at the annual International Technology, Meetings and
Incentives Conference to continue using that designation. Remember - technology changes so
fast. You need to be up-to-date to continue using the designation CIMP.
| If you fail (it is unlikely that you will fail if you have taken the review
classes and saw your concept map in pure green), you can go back and do the review lessons
again. You can do this for as many times as you want. Nobody needs to know that you are
repeating the review lessons except your instructor. |
Cost:
| Unlimited online review classes including reference book: $295 |
| Proctored examination, including certificate and pin: $195 |
| Instructor-led course (available only during the annual conferences). |
