TheAcademy.com has been approved as an Authorized Provider by the
International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET), 1760 Old Meadow Road, Suite 500, McLean, VA 22102. In obtaining this approval, TheAcademy.com has demonstrated that it complies with the ANSI/IACET Standards which are widely recognized as standards of good practice internationally. As a result of their Authorized Provider membership status, TheAcademy.com is authorized to offer IACET CEUs for its programs that qualify under the ANSI/IACET Standards.
This is a significant recognition for TheAcademy.com and for ABC, whose training courses are
produced and delivered by them. It means that all students that successfully complete a training course produced by TheAcademy.com
will be awarded full or partial IACET Continuing Education Units (CEU). The IACET CEU was created as a measurement
of quality continuing education. One IACET CEU is equal to ten hours of participation in an organized continuing
education experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction, and qualified instruction.
TheAcademy.com is one of a limited number of on-line training providers to receive approval as an Authorized Provider.
The company offers continuing education courses for many industries, associations and corporations. It also offers general continuing
education courses for students in all fields of endeavor. Students who successfully complete a TheAcademy.com course will receive a
full or partial IACET CEU, and will receive an appropriate certificate. This certificate will verify the students' successful efforts
to improve their skills and increase their knowledge through quality continuing education.
In the approval process, IACET thoroughly reviewed both the actual on-line courses and the methodology with which
TheAcademy.com designs and produces them. IACET determined that TheAcademy.com meets all the criteria necessary to
become an Authorized Provider. The criteria are based upon educational research and have stood the test of time.
They include: a conducive learning environment for students, needs identification, course planning, content and
instructional methods, assessment of learning outcomes, and course evaluation. Because of these comprehensive and
strict criteria, the IACET CEU has evolved from a quantitative measure to a hallmark of quality training and instruction.
IACET is a non-profit association dedicated to quality continuing education and training programs. IACET's
Criteria and Guidelines are the core of thousands of educational programs worldwide. Located in McLean, VA, IACET
grew out of a National Task Force on continuing education commissioned by the Bureau of Education (now the
Department of Education) in 1968. The task force included the leaders in continuing education, such as the American Medical
Association and American Nursing Association.
The IACET Task Force determined the universal guidelines for continuing education and created the Continuing Education
Unit (CEU). IACET was created by the task force to provide both a forum for discussion of education standards and an
organizational body to promote quality standards. IACET's guidelines are based upon in-depth research on the learning process.
IACET certifies only education providers that meet these strict continuing education guidelines. Other IACET
