Competency Testing
Welcome to the Orientation to WV Birth to Three Web CT
Course!

Your Web CT ID is: DHHR_first name+last name. Your name must be typed in all lowercase letters with no spaces. The system is case sensitive so you need to type exactly as above (be sure to include the _(underscore) between DHHR and your name in the Web CT ID.) Your name must be entered as you listed it with the Central Finance Office.

This will take you to your “myWebCT” screen and the course “BPH-OMCFH-101 Orientation to WV Birth to Three". After you log in for the first time, it is recommended that you change your password to one of your own choice. To change your password, click on Password Settings at the top of the page and follow the directions provided.
Accessing the Course: You will be able to access any of the icons at any time. If you need to return to this beginning page (the Home Page) simply click on the Navigational items at the top of the screen under the address element or on the left hand navigational bar. Click your mouse on the title of the course. This will open a screen which includes options to preview the Orientation Power Point, Orientation Manual or to take the appropriate WV Birth to Three Competency Test for your discipline.
What Test Do I Take? Interim and ongoing service coordinators must take the Service Coordination Competency Test. All other disciplines take the Early Intervention Specialist Competency Test. You may review the Orientation Course prior to taking the test. The course instructor will be able to view a history of the activities that you complete on the site. The history will include activities that the practitioner engages in on the site, as well as a summary of how the individual practitioner scores on each item in the competency test. This information assists the course instructors in monitoring use of the course, and in making any needed modifications in course or competency test, or other technical assistance activity content.
You will need to complete all questions in the test in order to obtain your test score. After you complete all questions, the Web CT system will provide you with your score. Practitioners must attain a score of 80 percent or above to meet the competency standards. You may take the competency test up to three times prior to the end of your initial enrollment year. If after three attempts, you have not achieved a score of 80% or above you will not be able to take the test again until you have completed requirements contained in the WV Birth to Three TA Bulletin, Annual Enrollment and Competency Test Updates, March 21, 2005.
After completing the Competency Test, please take a few minutes to complete the Course Assessment found on the Orientation to WV Birth to Three website. Your feedback is welcomed and valued. If you have questions, please email dhhrwvbtt@wv.gov.
