CEV hosted a press conference to formally announce their release of their iCEV certification program. The press conference began with a few words from Texas House of Representatives Public Education Chairman Jimmie Aycock. The chairman was one of the authors on Texas HB5, which he explained as a “bill that provides something to kids who are not going to college but will hold high-skilled, high-paying jobs.”

These types of jobs the chairman talks about are those that CEV is looking to create certification programs for. With over 30 years of experience and 40,000 minutes of instructional video CEV is hoping to have 60 certification programs in place by 2016.
