3~ I need proof of my purchase before my institution will provide me with a check for reimbursement. What should I do?
When purchasing hard copy courses or additional paper exams online, purchasing to take an exam online, or purchasing to view a course online, a purchase confirmation is available immediately upon finalizing your purchase. Regardless of ordering method, all hard copy orders will be shipped along with a printed “Purchase Confirmation, Invoice, and Packing Slip”. If your institution paid for this purchase, please forward this form to your institution.
4~ Does CACMLE accept PO numbers for self-study orders?
We no longer accept PO numbers, however we do accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, money orders, institutional and personal checks for mail, fax, and telephone orders. Orders placed on line can only be paid with VISA or Mastercard.
5~ Are exams included with the course I purchase?
Hard copies of course materials include ONE post-course exam answer sheet. Regarding online courses, some courses are available as “Course-Exam” packages, while other courses have only their exams currently available online. Please refer to the individual course descriptions on our website: www.cacmle.org to see what options are available for that course. It is important to check that an expiration date is on the paper exam answer sheet just as soon as you receive your order. If you did not obtain an exam answer sheet from CACMLE, but from a friend or colleague, you may want to contact CACMLE: (303) 321-1734 to verify the validity of the exam answer sheet.
6~ Do I have to order a course in order to take the exam?
You do not have to order a course to take the exam. However, you must have shared access to CACMLE course materials with a valid Exam ID. For online exams purchased as “Exams Only”, you will NOT be able to access the exam without a valid Exam ID. For exams purchased online as part of a “Course-Exam” package, an EXAM ID is not necessary to complete the exam, however, the EXAM ID is necessary if a paper exam is purchased in order to re-take a failed on line exam. Paper exams submitted without a valid Exam ID will be returned to you without credit.
7~ What is the quickest way to get exam results?
Purchasing and taking your “Course-Exam” or “exam only” online is the fastest method. Results and certificates are e-mailed to you immediately after submitting your exam. Please note that with online courses, some courses are available as “Course-Exam” packages, while other courses have only their exams currently available online. Refer to the individual course descriptions on our website: www.cacmle.org to see what options are available for that course.
8~ How long does it take from the time an exam answer sheet is sent to CACMLE to when a certificate is received?
Depending on the time of year, exams on paper may take up to a month from the time it is received in the CACMLE office to when it is validated, corrected, and a certificate is e-mailed (fastest method) or mailed to the course participant. Therefore, it is highly recommended that participants manage their time accordingly. For example, December is a high volume time for the mail services and delays in delivery are common at this time. If credit is needed for state licensure by the last day of December, exams should be completed in mid November and sent to CACMLE postdated no later than the week of Thanksgiving. Please consider purchasing your course online.
9~ My address has changed (or I’ve switched jobs) since I've ordered my exam. Is it possible for me to have my results sent to my new address?
Yes, when you fill out your exam and put in the address, just use the new address. State on your test, that this is a new address, and we will make note of that in our database.
10~ How long is my paper exam valid?
Paper exams must be submitted for grading within 365 days from the shipping date.
11~ Why is the Exam ID# necessary?
The Exam ID accomplishes two things: (1) It makes it possible for us to track the validity of a course. We want to make sure you are reading the most current and most updated information in the latest edition of that course. (2) It discourages the illegal copying of our copyrighted course materials. All exams must have the proper Exam ID number for continuing education credit.
The Exam ID (2 letters and 2 numbers) is required before we can grade an exam. The number is located on the Participant Instruction sheet at the beginning of the course in the upper right hand corner and /or in the course overview, also preceding the course contents.
13~ I no longer need a paper exam I ordered. Is it okay to transfer or give this paper exam to somebody else who would like to use it?
Yes, a paper exam may be transferred to another person. The new user should simply write his/her name on the exam and verify the expiration date. Please note: Exam expiration dates cannot be extended. Exams must be completed by the date printed on the exam.
14~ I think I may have a photo-copied version of a paper exam answer sheet. What should I do?
Please contact CACMLE at (303) 321-1734. We will NOT grade exams returned on a invalid exam answer sheet.
15~ How do I receive P.A.C.E. credit for attending the CACMLE teleconferences?
At the end of a session, a semester, or the end of the calendar year, make as many copies of the blank "Participation Record" as needed (one participant per sheet). Each "Participation Record" must be signed by the designated contact person and mailed to CACMLE no later than December 31 of that year. Original signatures are required, so please do not fax your records to us. This is an honor system, so please help us maintain the integrity of the program by keeping accurate records of persons attending the teleconference for credit. Single-session teleconference subscribers may submit their "Participation Records" directly after that teleconference session.)
16~ Do you have Corporate Memberships available?
CACMLE is not able to track multiple participants to an institution or a corporation. However, we can establish a “group” membership managed by a single point of contact and provide group discounts in this situation. All course materials purchased must be made through this account only and all products will be mailed to the contact person on record. Sorry, this option is not available with online purchases.
17~ I've bought/placed orders with CACMLE; and completed tests with CACMLE. Does this make me a member?
