Authorized Provider (AP) Workshop FAQs

Q. Is it a requirement to take the AP workshop before submitting an AP application?

No. However, organizations interested in becoming IACET Authorized Providers or renewing their authorization are encouraged to participate in a workshop to learn about the ANSI/IACET Standards and Authorized Provider application process. Our experience shows that workshop participants submit applications that require fewer clarifications and move more quickly through the review process.

Q. How much does it cost to register for an AP workshop, and is there a group discount rate if I am interested in registering more than one person?

The AP workshop registration fee is $500. There is no group discount rate at this time. Each person interested in attending an AP workshop needs to register individually and pay the registration fee.

Q. Where and how often are the workshops held?

The AP workshops are held throughout the country. We try to offer one each month.

Q. How long is the workshop, and what will I get out of it?

The workshop is a one-day program. By the end of the workshop, participants should be able to: 1) Given a self-study checklist, appraise a sample AP application for adherence to the ANSI/IACET Standards; 2) discuss the IACET AP application process and associated fees; 3) given the IACET formula, accurately calculate CEUs for classroom and self-paced programs; and 4) propose the next three to five steps in the application process for your organization by preparing a written action plan.

Q. Can I host a workshop in my city?

Yes. The host application form is available here. Simply complete the form and submit it to info@iacet.org, and an IACET staff member will contact you regarding logistical needs and suitable dates. As a host, you will be entitled to send one individual from your organization to the workshop free of charge. We encourage you or someone from your organization to take advantage of the complimentary workshop registration and welcome the promotion of the workshop throughout your organization and community.

Q. If I am unable to attend an AP workshop that I registered for, can I reschedule?

Yes. You must notify IACET in writing no less than two weeks prior to the scheduled workshop and must reschedule within the calendar year. If you would like to cancel your registration, you must submit a request in writing no less than two weeks prior to the scheduled workshop; a service charge of 20 percent will be deducted from all refunds. Please note that IACET reserves the right to cancel a workshop if necessary and that refunds will be paid in full.
