COVID-19 Impact – Update March 13, 2020

IECRM Training Schedule Update

IECRM is closely monitoring the guidance of the World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the State of Colorado Department of Public Health regarding the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

Schools across the country have made decisions to offer alternative forms of instruction including moving from in-person courses to online courses in the interest of public health due to COVID-19 concerns. IECRM is following the CDC recommendations for schools, communities and businesses and the Colorado Department of Health guidelines during this time.

To support these recommended actions, IECRM is extending Spring Break one more week for ALL students. Every student in the Apprenticeship Training Program will receive attendance credit for class next week – the week of March 16-20, 2020. During this time, IECRM will be implementing a plan of action to offer our classes with the health, safety and concerns of our community at the forefront, including the expansion of our existing online offerings.

All classes will resume the week of March 23rd.  Next week, we will provide additional details regarding instruction and access to classes. The decision to extend Spring Break will not extend the school year. The academic calendar will remain as scheduled.

We appreciate your flexibility and understanding as we work through the details of this unprecedented time. Our focus is to meet our student and member needs while doing our part to keep you, our employees, and our communities healthy and safe.
Our office will remain open to answer questions, concerns and assist in anyway. Feel free to contact us in the office or via email [email protected].

Below are a list of everyday actions to protect yourself and others from the spread of disease:

There are effective ways to reduce the risk to yourself and the people you care about.

  • Frequently and thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
  • Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash, or use your inner elbow or sleeve.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Stay home if you’re sick, and keep your children home if they are sick.
  • Clean surfaces in your home, and personal items such as cell phones, using regular household products.
  • Be calm and prepared.

Thank you and stay well!

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.
