Rhino Academic (IRC) Testing is available for Rhino. 

==== Here is how to get started with the Rhino IRC testing at your school. ====

  - Purchase a Rhino Lab license: You can use it for up to 30 computers in a training lab, or create a Team and invite 30 students for virtual or online training.
  - Here is how to access the [[https://wiki.mcneel.com/rhino/trainingguides/en|Rhino Training Guides]]. Provide your own training or tutorials for the students to learn specific features in Rhino that are of a particular interest.
  - Augment the Level 1 & Level 2 Training guide with your own tutorials and exercises. See our collection of Getting Started tutorials, Rhino 5 to Rhino 8, Windows and Mac.
  - These [[https://wiki.mcneel.com/gettingstartedvideos|“PBL” tutorials]] (project based learning) will take the student from a blank screen to a completed model in under 2 hours.
  - Test for their Rhino skills with the IRC testing Level 1 and Level 2 with  [[https://wiki.mcneel.com/rhino/academic_certified_test|Rhino Academic testing]]. Testing is available at a discount to schools. Here is the application to offer the test to your students.

==== After your school certifies a student what are the next steps? ====
  * Once the student has earned their certification, all the teacher needs to do is let their CTE Director know so the director can do their reporting to OSPI.
