NEW SERVICE OFFICER TRAINING & ACCREDITATION INFORMATION
If you are a new service officer you may contact your District Service Officer (DSO) to set up a time to meet and begin your training. If you do not yet know who your DSO is please contact Tim or Phil at the IDVA main office at 317-232-3910. One of the first things you will need to do is self enroll and begin T.R.I.P Training. Your District Service Officer will assist you as you progress through this training as needed and assist you in applying for Service Organization Accreditation after you complete and pass the final examination.
T.R.I.P. Training is required for accreditation and should be taken by all CVSOs annually.
You can self register for Training Responsibility in Preparation of Claims (T.R.I.P) Training by clicking HERE
You can also use the same link to log on to continue the training once you have registered.
- You must complete all the modules and pass with a score of 80% or greater
- You have three attempts to pass the final comprehensive assessment.
- After the third attempt you will need to be unlocked to retake the assessment
To print the certificate of completion, go to completed courses and there is a button for the certificate on the Final Assessment lesson.
The system will generate the certificate and you will then click on the link and download it to your computer. Once it is downloaded, you can open the file and print it.
