Eligibility Requirements

Any organization that creates and administers continuing education and/or training activities, courses or programs may apply for IACET Authorized Provider (AP) status if it:

• Is a governmental unit, or is incorporated, chartered, or otherwise legally-recognized as a business entity, and
• Has been in business for at least one (1) year and operating under the conditions described in the application for at least three (3) months, and
• Has a well-defined organizational structure in which the authority and responsibility for administering continuing education and/or training activities, courses, or programs is assigned to a particular unit , and
• Has its educational activities, courses, or programs administered by an individual or group that can ensure that the most current ANSI/IACET Standard for Continuing Education and Training is met, and
• Has written processes, policies and procedures that are compliant with the most current ANSI/IACET Standard for Continuing Education and Training, and
• Can provide required documentation with the application and to an IACET site visitor. 

An applicant organization must define the organizational unit that seeks Authorized Provider status. Applicants may apply on behalf of the entire organization, or a specific unit, or department within the organization. An Authorized Provider must operate under a single set of policies and procedures, with authority, responsibility, and administrative control over the learning events offered under its auspices. Large, complex organizations and organizations with multiple geographic units may encompass several distinct CE/T providers, each of which may need to apply separately for IACET AP status.

Attention!  Please be advised… 

A site visit is required as part of the IACET Authorized Provider application process. If your organization resides in a country that has a current U.S. travel warning, IACET may not be able to accept your application for Authorized Provider status. Situations and risks in countries are continuously changing so before purchasing the ANSI/IACET Standards and application, please take a look at the most current Travel Warnings list at http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/tw/tw_1764.html and contact IACET Headquarters to ask whether we can accept your application.
