When seeking accreditation for the first time through IACET, a provider must document they meet the standards by uploading 73 different pieces of evidence.  In 2018, the IACET Council for Standard Development introduced the new and streamlined re-application for accredited providers (APs).  That new re-application process asks for only 17 items in the application.  The reaccreditation process is now streamlined in response to the needs of IACET APs. 

To ensure maximum value as part of the accreditation process, IACET has commited to exemplary communications during the accreditation review.  As a part of your accreditation review (either for initial or renewal) your organization has the ability to request a phone conference with your review team. Here is what you can expect.

You have earned accreditation. Well done!  This is not the end however, but merely the beginning of your relationship with IACET.  For the application to have been successful, you had to provide important documentation to show compliance.  This continues on an annual basis as long as you are an accredited provider.  You will need to submit documents and answer questions to maintain your status as an Accredited Provider. 

Many training organizations are realizing a major benefit to having IACET accreditation which is promoting and reinforcing organizational scalability and operational continuity.

Not long ago, the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) was asked about a certain international organization that was advertising its new continuing education and training accreditation program.  IACET’s staff examined the new organization’s website and found that a large portion of its content was copied verbatim from IACET’s website.
