ETCP rigging examination fees waived

USA - In order to keep the ETCP examinations fresh and current, the Subject Matter Experts have written new questions for the Arena Rigging examination. ETCP is set to launch these questions 1 July 2012. To gather the statistical data necessary to properly score the exam, it is essential that as many arena riggers as possible are tested during the month of July. To further this initiative, the test administration fee of $675 for groups of 10 or more will be waived for the month of July. Candidate application fees will still apply and score reports will be delivered in six-eight weeks.

The new test form for Theatre Rigging will be available late summer or early fall and the offer to waive the administration fee for that exam will be made to organisations at that time.

ETCP will send a proctor to you, but space must be provided by your organisation. You can find a list of testing requirements at: http://etcp.plasa.org/onsiteexams.html. Test administration requests must be received five weeks prior to the exam date, and candidate application deadlines will be set by the certification manager. Candidates must fill out the 'Pre-arranged Paper and Pencil Application Form', available on the website.

If your organization is interested in onsite paper and pencil examinations, please contact Meredith Moseley-Bennett, ETCP certification manager, at 212-244-1505 or etcp@plasa.org.
