Overview

IAS provides accreditation for organizations that develop curricula for professional-development training programs. The accreditation is based on IAS Accreditation Criteria for Curriculum Development for Work Force Qualification Programs (AC372). Getting accredited requires curriculum developers to demonstrate that the content of their curricula comply with nationally recognized standards of quality for “best practices.” IAS requires that organizations have formally documented processes that are effectively implemented and regularly monitored to ensure their continuing suitability and effectiveness.
