IACET offers instructor-led Accreditation Workshops—available in-person and virtually—to support our mission of advancing quality in continuing education and training. These highly interactive learning events help current and prospective Accredited Providers apply the ANSI/IACET Standard for Continuing Education and Training with confidence and build stronger, more complete application submissions.
Wherever you are in the world, IACET’s Accreditation Workshops provide a practical, hands-on opportunity to better understand the Standard, prepare submission evidence, and receive expert guidance in a collaborative learning environment.
Workshop Format & Attendance Options
In-Person (Full-Day Workshop)
In-person workshops are delivered as a full-day, instructor-led experience designed for maximum interaction and hands-on progress.
- In-person participants receive: a printed Learner Workbook
- Digital access to all workshop resources (ideal for internal sharing)
Virtual (Two Half-Day Sessions)
Virtual workshops are delivered in a two half-day format to prevent Zoom fatigue and keep the learning experience engaging and productive.
- Virtual participants receive: digital versions of the Learner Workbook and all resources
- For an additional fee, a printed workbook can be shipped if registration is completed at least two weeks prior to the event.
Because these sessions are highly interactive, virtual participants must join using a webcam and a computer equipped with a microphone and speakers (or headset).
Note: For certain global workshops, the virtual option may be delivered as a single full-day (8-hour) session due to time zone constraints.
Who Should Attend?
- First-time applicants preparing for IACET accreditation
- Reaccreditation applicants looking to strengthen submissions and reduce rework
- Teams updating policies, processes, or documentation to align with the Standard
- Organizations seeking clearer interpretation of Standard requirements and evidence expectations
Workshop Outcomes
The workshop works!
Our data shows that applicants who attend the Accreditation Workshop experience a 60% reduction in findings after their first review—going from an average of 24 findings to 8. In other words: the workshop helps you submit stronger evidence, avoid common pitfalls, and reduce rework.
These instructor-led workshops are collaborative learning events where participants will:
- Assemble and validate evidence for application submission
- Gain clarity on applying the Standard to their organization
- Leave with a stronger, more confident path forward for accreditation
- Receive a digital badge upon completion to recognize participation and achievement
