Education
Overview

Education is vital to employee retention and satisfaction. As employees understand their total rewards package, they are more likely to remain with their company. Intermountain Compensation and Benefits Assocation (ICBA) is committed to providing quality education tools and experiences to its compensation and benefits professionals within the community. We provide many opportunities for both ICBA members and non-members to achieve this goal.

Below are just few educational opportunities ICBA members enjoy.

Local Educational Programs (Free for ICBA Members)

On a quarterly basis, ICBA host local education programs for the continuing education of our members and guests. ICBA members can attend these events free with their paid membership. These events provide high quality content in the areas of compensation, benefits programs, or work-life initiatives. ICBA strives to provide guests with an expertise in these areas to benefit attendees. In addition, these events provide an ideal forum to network with other compensation and benefit professionals. These educational programs are typically held in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. Please visit the events section http://www.icbautah.org/calendar.cfm of the website for more information.

Certification Courses (Discounted for ICBA Members)

Working towards your CCP or CBP, or interested in other WorldatWork certification? Members of ICBA receive a significantly discounted price of attending locally sponsored WorldatWork certification courses. By paying for an ICBA membership, the reduced price of the certification course can pay for annual membership fairly quickly.

What to Bring to the Testing Center:
To complete the necessary sign-in procedures, it is recommended that you arrive at the test center at least 30 minutes before your scheduled exam time. Please be prepared to show one (1) form of personal ID. The ID must be current (not expired) and include your signature and photo. For security reasons, some test centers may also require you to provide a fingerprint and/or take your digital photo upon arrival.
You will not be allowed to take any personal items with you into the testing room. This includes all purses, bags, books, notes, PDAs, cell phones, pagers, watches, wallets, hats, gloves and coats. Some testing centers have lockers available to store your personal items during your test. For the GR2/T3 exam, you will be allowed to bring your TI BAII calculator into the testing room.
