Certifications: Cost Containment

This post is written by Troy Bridges of Pinnacol Assurance.

In today’s economy, companies are constantly looking for ways to save money and reduce overhead. With the Colorado Cost Containment Certification (CCC), companies have the opportunity to not only improve their safety culture and program, but can save on their workers’ compensation insurance premium. The CCC program involves creating a safety program specific to the organization and gives companies a foundation on which to build a strong safety culture. The key to the program is the creation and implementation of six steps and demonstrating that the organization has maintained the program for at least a year. The six steps to the CCC program are as follows:

1.       Management Commitment

2.       Designation of a Safety Coordinator or Safety Committee

3.       Written Safety Program

4.       Employee Training

5.       Designated Medical Providers

6.       Claims Management

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.
