Yep, must be test day in Ohio... just a few reminders for the LIC test Thursday:
The test goes rain or shine, so bring rain and shine gear!
Dress code requires long pants & hard-soled shoes.
Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.
In the case of severe weather, there may be delays, which means we will all be here later than scheduled. We want to get all the certification testing done while everyone is here, safely and efficiently. Please plan accordingly.
No worries, we've got this!

Good luck, everyone!

Our Ohio LIC friend and “founder,” Kent Hammond, and industry great Joel Korte, are being honored this afternoon in Columbus as recipients of the Ohio State - College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences Meritorious Service Award and Distinguished Alumni Award. We had a celebration in their honor yesterday at Ohio State ATI. It’s pretty special that mentor and mentee are being honored simultaneously!

Congratulations, Joel and Kent! Thank you for your service to the industry and to Ohio State ATI!

WOOSTER — A Friday afternoon reception at ATI was an opportunity for local people to honor their own. Kent Hammond, an associate professor emeritus

Certification day! Good luck to all of our LIC candidates!

Certification candidate test schedules are ready. That must mean Ohio's 2017 LIC test day is coming up quickly! In the meantime, here are a few testing hints:
~Get safety first in your mind.
~That "Test Book" you received - THAT IS THE TEST. Can you believe it? The test problem you will be handed when you walk up to a hands-on test station is exactly the same as what we sent to you!
~If you see PPE at a test station, might as well use it. . .
~Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.
~Make safety your BFF on the test site.

That's all for now. Just don't be afraid to ask us questions! Oh, yeah. Did we mention that we are big on safety?

A little Ohio Test Partnership trivia:
In the early days of Ohio's LIC test, we had a knocker-up to wake our judges and volunteers in time for the starter pistol.
Who here remembers those good ole days?

Before alarm clocks were affordable, 'knocker-ups' were used to wake people early in the morning. UK, c1900
