June 15 UPDATE: This notification form now redirects you to an instructional post.
by Leslie Fish, March 26, 2020 | As many industries face logistical and economic challenges related to the worldwide covid-19 response, ICML remains committed to helping lubrication practitioners and independent training partners succeed in their professional endeavors.
Many communities have implemented temporary policies that safeguard public health, but which also make it impossible for training organizations to hold physical classes and ICML exam sessions.
ICML is supportive of efforts made by training organizations to move their classes and lectures to virtual platforms. To ensure their class participants can still sit our certification exams in a timely manner, we are also pursuing opportunities with software companies to offer secure, proctored tests online. In this way, we hope to continue serving our candidates and training partners with the same flexibility and accessibility that they have come to expect from ICML over the years.
We appreciate your patience and perseverance during this difficult time as we consider our options for remote testing. Let us know how else we can help.
I will love to be a part of this opportunity to take the course and exam online when it’s ready to go live
Glad you are enthused about this new offering, Martins. Various online courses are already offered by independent training partners and other companies; you can see a list of partners’ online training links here. Meanwhile, did you submit your name to the online notification form (above) so that you will receive an email when the new exam application is ready?
Is it safe to assume the remote testing will be ready prior to the 15th at least?
Thanks for your interest, Andrew. The revamped application process for online exams will be open any day now, most likely before this coming weekend. You are on the notification list already, so you will receive a more detailed explanation & overview via email when that happens.
Okay thank you for quickly getting back with me and I will monitor my email.
