IDPA SO recertification?

[Onagoth]

Anyone got their email to do the test yet?

I just updated my email address today and wanted to make sure I didn't miss it.

Was supposed to be ready Aug 1st I thought. You had to follow a link for the test.

 

[Onagoth]

will the link be publically available? I can't imagine they resend the email if you update your email address

 

[Winchester3030]

Received my email. It says not to share the link as the tests are being staged in groups over time.

 

[EvilDezel]

Yup, what he said.

 

[Onagoth]

Emailed idpa HQ ....see what they say

The test period ends on Monday 12th August.

I did mine on the 29th July and passed.

My email arrived on the 26th July.

 

[Onagoth]

Can someone please send me the link?

I know it says not to share because of the phased in testing but all international SO's are tested at the same time according to the idpa website and we are the last group in the retesting anyways....I haven't had any response from them

 

[Onagoth]

Got through to them on the phone, they are resending the link

 

[Onagoth]

that wasn't so bad....a little on the long side though

If for some reason any SO has been away, likely, or been to busy at work or you didn't receive an email the time period can be extended out to Sept. 30. Either contact your Club Contact, myself or HQ and let them know.

Take Care

I have heard complaints from the not so computer savvy about the time as well.

Passed! There were some tricky questions, and some wording that I don't think matched well with the answers. Also not terribly enthralled at the prospect of having to do this every two years.

It took me 1:05 to complete. This was moving at a reasonable pace and using the search function on the rule book PDF file.

What's the deal with SO instructors in Canada? Last I read in the IDPA news letter that they were not letting Canada have any SO instructors and all SO courses had to be run by a US SO instructor.

Probably won't get dealt with until late this year or next. And afaik, it was still possible that previously certified Canadian SOI will be able to retain their recertification, though perhaps in lesser numbers (fewer per region).

I passed. 97% but that was after getting 79% on my first try. Took it too lightly the first time. Good test. I did mine on the 20th using the same link that was supposed to expire on the 12th. Seems to have registered fine as I printed out the recert certificate and it had my name on it. I guess they automatically extended the time frame or it was never written in stone in the first place.
