Each year, on their anniversary, Accredited Providers (APs) are required to submit an annual report along with membership dues. The annual report with a self-audit is a requirement for maintaining accreditation and is essential for an organization’s ability to continue to claim IACET AP status and issue IACET CEUs.
IACET requires policies and processes to be submitted as part of the accreditation process to document compliance with the Standard. Discover what policy is relative to the Standard, and learn some general considerations you should bear in mind as you write, revise, and submit your policies as part of your application for accreditation.
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.
One of the most common exchanges between an applicant and the IACET reviewers is the return of an application due to some deficiency in documented processes. The application for initial accreditation asks for the provider to submit to the reviewers, processes for most aspects of the instructional design and delivery functions of the organization. These processes are what make up most of the day to day work flow for the people in the training/education department of the organization.
