Sandler Training, the world’s leading sales and management training franchise, has partnered with Independent Electrical Contractors – Rocky Mountain to offer a business development training scholarship award to an IECRM member company armed forces veteran.

The Sandler Training Scholarship recipient will be selected from all applicants based on need and short essay explaining their interest in a selling career. The winning applicant will win a membership to the Sandler Training Foundations Program, consisting of 9 weeks of training, 2 hours per week, including all benchmarking assessments and training materials. The scholarship is valued at over $3,500.

Sandler Training in Northwest Denver President, Bob Bolak shared why the company has chosen to award the scholarship: “IECRM is a very significant trade association that provides the deepest levels of apprentice and industry training for independent electrical contractors. The IECRM Veterans Committee talked to us about some of the challenges our service men and women are encountering when looking for work in the private sector. So we decided to collaborate on an idea to spotlight selling as a great career for veterans and offer a scholarship to assist an IECRM member company veteran. It’s truly an honor to be involved in this worthwhile program.”

IECRM members can nominate one of their veterans for the scholarship by visiting this website and completing the application online at: www.SalesPoint.Sandler.comor by calling Alison Schneider at Sandler Training at 303-376-6165.” The deadline for application is December 22, 2014 and the scholarship will be awarded in late December with a training start date in mid-January, 2015.

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.
