Who should use WCTP 601?

WCTP 601 isn't just for those wanting to prepare for their National Boards. Here's a full list of everyone that can use WCTP 601. 

  • Online Candidates. WCTP 601 is your curriculum. You should complete ALL assignments. You will be assigned an online mentor that will provide specific feedback for your assignments and be available to you through email and Zoom meetings.
  • Face-to-Face Candidates. ALL face-to-face candidates should complete the Component 1 module, which prepares you for the assessment center. Face-to-Face candidates use WCTP 601 as a supplement.
  • Advanced Candidates who are redoing a Component. There is a module called ‘Redoing a Component’. ALL advanced candidates (face-to-face and online) should start here!
  • Mentors. All mentors will guide candidates to watch the introductory videos and complete the Component 1 module. Mentors may also use WCTP 601 as a mentoring guide.

WCTP 601 is a course that contains every resource the WCTP has.

It is essential that all candidates follow instructions and start by watching the provided video, which explains how to utilize the course.

 

Continuing Education Units

After completing WCTP 601, Candidates and Mentors can apply for CEUs.

How do I login?

All candidates receive an initial email with a username(WebID), which never changes and a password, which expires every 90 days.

Can you fix it where my password does not expire?

No, the login process cannot be changed or simplified. The entire University of Mississippi’s faculty, staff, and students follow the same protocol of updating their password every 90 days.

  • It is simple and takes less than a minute.
  • The WCTP cannot update passwords.

Each individual associated with the university is responsible for keeping their own password updated.
