NICET just added fillable fields to the certification application form to all Standard Model application forms. This means applicants can type in the form but will still need to print, sign, and initial as directed, then mail to the appropriate address. See the new Forms!
The new forms have some additional enhancements like field validation, tool tips, and helpful hints to guide applicants through the form. These enhancements are just the beginning. Look for improved instructions and walk-through style videos coming soon. Ultimately, we plan to collect the information through web forms and provide applicants access to the submissions online.
