A New Age of Technology at IECRM

The 2019 IECRM Strategic Plan includes identifying, procuring, and upgrading technology to meet the needs of members and students. We are so pleased to announce some major changes coming your way in June! IECRM joins a handful of other IEC Chapters in upgrading our current systems to a new enterprise system: Flashpoint.

On June 10, members will receive new log-ins as well as instructions for accessing the new system. Beginning June 17, member contractors and students will be able to register directly in Flashpoint. IECRM will provide training tutorials, with staff standing by to assist you.

Flashpoint will replace the student database AMPS with even more features for members and students:

  • Online access to automated student status including grades and attendance via a new online student portal for class content and homework.
  • Essential communications delivered via automated text, email, and phone messages.
  • Improved registration options and forms for apprenticeship as well as classes and events.
  • Online OJT forms that students fill out, supervisors approve, and IECRM manages on your behalf.
  • Online account access for billing and payments for apprenticeship registration, books, continuing education, and events with detailed and summary reports of your transactions.
  • REMOVE: Online OJT forms that students fill out, supervisors approve, and IECRM manages on your behalf.
  • Improved Office of Apprenticeship Program registration.
  • Continually updated Hire List.

Behind the scenes, staff and instructors will maximize features such as:

  • Single centralized database for all record management.
  • Fully detailed company and individual records with the ability to segment for relevant communications.
  • Workflow efficiencies and reduced redundancies in the office and in the classroom.
  • Increased reporting with business intelligence capabilities.
  • Online portals for teaching curriculum, homework, and exams.

IECRM Self-Pay Tuition Policy

 

Self-pay students who are employed with a member company must register and pay through the member company using the IECRM Flashpoint Enrollment Portal/Process in order to qualify for member rates.

Self-pay students that are employed with a member company but that do not register and pay through the member will be charged the non-member rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.


Self-pay students who are employed with a member company and require a payment plan will not qualify for the member rate and will be charged the non-member rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.


Self-pay students who do not work for a member company will continue to be charged the non-member rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.


To maximize association/membership benefits, ALL member companies are encouraged to register and pay for all enrolled apprentices utilizing internal payment arrangements and processes between employer and employee.


We value our IECRM members and apprentice community. We encourage all apprentices to be enrolled in the four-year apprenticeship program, earning, and learning their way toward Journeyworker licensure. We encourage all members to utilize the member discount for tuition, books and applicable fees to ensure the long-term support and success of the next-generation electrician.


(Payment Plans are available, please reference the Self Pay Payment Plan Policy.)


Self-Pay Payment Plan Policy


We offer the following arrangements for students that are unable to pay in full at the time of registration.


● Self-pay students will be charged the non-member rate.
● A 50% down payment of total semester tuition, books and applicable fees are due at registration.
● Remaining balance can be divided up to 3 additional monthly payments ($10.00 processing fee applies on each installment)
● All payments that are declined will incur a $20.00 NSF fee.

 

We encourage all students who are employed with a member company to work with their employer to register and pay through the IECRM Flashpoint Enrollment Portal/Process. This will ensure the student is paying the lowest possible rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.
