WPDP SELF STUDY
ENROLLMENT PROCEDURE

Enrolling in WPDP: To enroll in the WPDP and request that the Idaho Department of Labor pay the cost of the training, you must fill out two forms:

the Department's Request for Out-Service Training (I-66-15)to obtain approval. This form can be found on the IDOL Knowledge Center.  Select Training, then Complete an Outservice Request

the IAWP Professional Development Program Application/Order form to enroll you in one or more WPDP modules.

Please carefully follow this five-step process for enrolling. If you want the Department to pay for the WPDP training and have it recorded on the department's training database, you need to follow these procedures exactly:

1. Fill out the Application/Order Form on the computer and print a copy the WPDP application form from the Intranet location.
   
2. Submit the Request for Out-Service Training from the Knowledge Center.  Print a copy of the approved request when received from your division administrator.
   
3. Photocopy the Application/Order form and the approved Request for Out-Service Training form so you can keep the photocopy for your records.
   
4. Attach the original Application/Order form behind the original approved Request for Out-Service Training form.
   
5. Have your cost center manager complete and sign a DA-8 to for payment to the IAWP Administrative Office (the address is on the Application/Order form)and send the DA-8 with the Application/Order Form and Outservice Request to the Accounting Bureau.

The Accounting Bureau will issue a payment and send your original Application/Order Form to the IAWP Administrative Office for processing.

Within four to six weeks, you should receive the study guide(s) from the IAWP Administrative Office in Kentucky. If you do not, please notify them directly at (502) 223-4459.

Intent to Test:

You may take tests in January, April, July, or October. When you've enrolled for a WPDP module, you have two years to take the test. International IAWP does not automatically send a test at the end of two years.

To take a test - if the Intent-to-Test portion on your initial Application/Order form was not completed you have one of two options:

1. You can complete the lower right corner of a new Application/Enrollment form (Intent-to-Test) and send it to the IAWP Administrative Office.
   
2. You can complete the Test Enrollment Section of your Acknowledgment Form and send it to the IAWP Administrtive Office, specifying the test site and test date.  (The Acknowledgment Form is the document you received from the IAWP Administrtive Office confirming your enrollment in WPDP.)

Please pay attention to the deadlines as outlined on your Acknowledgment Form. Nothing is more disappointing than preparing for a test which you cannot take because you did not fill out the Intent-to-Test Form in a timely manner.

Other things to keep in mind:

• Your written intent-to-test and fees must be received in the IAWP Administrative Office by the 15th of the month prior to testing.
  
• You may take up to two tests during each testing session.
  
• You may participate in more than one testing session per testing month.
  
• You may test in any subchapter, chapter or district offering testing that month.
  
• You may take the tests in any order.
  
• The IAWP Administrtive Office will mail your test scores to you by the end of the month following testing.
  
• You may retest as many times as you desire during your 24-month period for the published retest fee.
  
• You have 24 months from your initial testing enrollment to successfully complete the entire WPDP program.
  
• If you do not successfully complete the program in 24 months and later wish to continue, you will be required to pay a one-time re-enrollment fee, in addition to the cost of any yet-to-be purchased exams or retest fees.
  
• WPDP participants shall inform the Training Unit when they have taken and passed an exam.
