Here's how you get your CTAP8 Level I certification:

- You can get the application in Word from HERE.

- Fill it out, (put you cursor where you want to enter text and click your mouse). Leave "School" blank unless you have a job at one. Post it in your eFolio Introduction

- Give me a hard copy. I'll sign mine and mail it to CTAP. I'll also send a copy to CTAP and to your credential file.

- It takes CTAP more than two months to process an application and send you the certificate.  If you don't receive it by then, fax your signed application to CTAP8 at 636-4571.
