CCN member institutions can now submit student names for certification exam vouchers using the Voucher Request Form. This form is designed to streamline the process and ensure that vouchers are distributed efficiently and equitably across the network.

To request vouchers, instructors or program leads should complete the form and upload a spreadsheet listing the students who are interested in receiving support for industry-recognized certification exams. Please be sure to include all requested information in the spreadsheet to avoid delays in processing. Click here to download Excel template for submitting with your Voucher Request Form.
