IACET Authorized Providers complete a comprehensive application and undergo a strict evaluation of their educational processes according to the ANSI/IACET 1-2007 Standard. Only IACET Authorized Providers can offer the IACET CEU, the hallmark of quality in continuing education and training. For individual learners, certifying agencies and education providers, IACET CEUs demonstrate that a program has paid attention to such elements as developing clear learning outcomes, assessing learner needs, and conducting thorough evaluation to ensure continuous improvement.

IACET Authorized Providers status means the organization demonstrates compliance with proven, research-based standards created in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Education and is dedicated to high standards for quality in continuing education and training.
