certification must be reported in the year in which the student took the coursework that lead to the industry certification.

31
Issue 6: Prior year reporting in Issue 6: Prior year reporting in limited circumstanceslimited circumstancesDistricts may report certifications earned
during the prior reporting year, in cases where the certification could not have been earned by the end of the update period. ◦Example: Student had to be 18 to earn the
certification and the18th birthday fell after the standard update period.
◦This method cannot be used to correct data reporting errors.
District may report prior year by using the following elements:◦School Year – Record Submission element
equals current reporting year.◦School Year – Course Taken element equals
the prior year.32
Other Reporting IssuesOther Reporting IssuesCertifications should be reported in the year that
they were earned.Students should not be reported with the same
industry certification identifier more than once in the survey. The outcome reported should be the final outcome for the reporting year.
For a student earning an industry certification in a prior year (value of “P” on industry certification outcome), the student may not be reported with that same industry certification identifier in a subsequent reporting year.◦ For example, ADOBE012 - This certification often has
software updates and new version of the software and subsequent exams are released. If a student earned the ADOBE012 certification in 2011-12, the student may not be reported as attempting or earning that industry certification in any following year.
33
Other Reporting IssuesOther Reporting IssuesFor certifications or assessments with work
experience requirements, an industry certification identifier may be reported as an attempt when all exams have been taken and any requirements other than work experience are satisfied (i.e., report valid identifier on Industry Certification Identifier element and outcome of "F" on the Industry Certification Outcome element). ◦ Students may not be reported with an “F” for two
consecutive years if the only certification requirement outstanding is the work experience.
