State of West Virginia Approval Procedures

1. The individual taking the tutorial must obtain a score of 90% of better. The tutorial may be taken over until this score is reached. [Note: Remember, the objective here is training, not testing.]
2. Print one copy of the score results. Write the West Virginia Program Approval Number (see below) on the result sheet along with the certification number of the individual taking the tutorial. That person must also sign the printed results and include the date the course was completed.
3. Mail the printed score results, complete with the above information, to the West Virginia Department of Agriculture at the above address.
4. West Virginia Department of Agriculture staff will then fill out the State of West Virginia recertification credit verification form and mail a copy back to the applicant.
5. Once a person has earned credits through a specific program, they cannot use it again to earn credits.

How The Tutorials Work

Each question screen within the tutorial allows the student to access text (under an Info Text button) or graphics (under an Image button) necessary to answer the question. Questions 1 and 50 provide information on using the test. The text for answering the questions, using the program and applying for CEUs can be printed from within the program. This allows students the option of handling printed material, as well as electronic information, to answer the questions.

Questions answered correctly provide the student with additional information not found under the Info Text button. The student is not tested on this additional information. Questions answered incorrectly provide the student with the correct answer, and often with additional information that helps the student understand the subject better.

Simple instructions for printing the test results are provided under the Intro Text button of Questions 1 and 50. Students can print these instructions off from within the tutorials. The tutorial can be used over and over again for instruction without requiring a student to print the results.

Only after students have answered all 50 questions are they prompted to enter their name into a pop-up screen. They can then proceed to access their test results.

Once a student has earned a CEU through a specific program, he or she cannot use it again to earn CEUs in that category. However, an unlimited number of students can use each program to earn CEUs.
