The IACET Standard
The Evident Group is an IACET accredited provider. IACET is the premier standard-setting organization for
the continuing education and training industry and is an accredited Standards Developing
Organization (SDO) by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
Accreditation by ANSI signifies that IACET’s procedures
meet the Institute’s essential requirements for openness, balance, consensus and due
process. IACET’s process of standards development ensures that interested individuals
and organizations representing academia, industry, product users, and governments alike all
have an equal vote in determining a standard’s content. Participants are welcome from
anywhere in the world.
The ANSI/IACET Standard for Continuing Education and Training defines a proven model for
developing effective and valuable continuing education and training (CE/T) programs.
Because the Standard focuses on how learning programs are developed, not
what they cover, it provides a framework of best practices that can be applied
across disciplines and industries.

What Does the Standard Measure?
The ANSI/IACET Standard measures all aspects of a CE/T
provider’s program development across ten nationally recognized categories:
- Continuing Education and Training Organization
- Responsibility and Control
- The Learning Environment and Support Systems
- Learning Event Planning
- Learning Outcomes
- Planning and Instructional Personnel
- Content and Instructional Methods
- Assessment of Learning Outcomes
- System for Awarding CEUs and Maintaining Learner Records
- Program Evaluation
A systematic approach to identifying and analyzing learning needs, the
ANSI/IACET Standard helps CE/T providers:
- Establish an appropriate responsibility and control system
- Design, plan and execute a quality learning event
- Establish appropriate assessment criteria based on the learning
outcomes
- Monitor and improve the learning process in order to achieve its
objectives.
The ANSI/IACET Standard also emphasizes the importance of continually
reviewing and improving education and training, to ensure the development of quality programs that
meet consumer needs.
Why the Standard Matters Within a competitive marketplace, it pays to align your organization
and its CE/T programs with the name synonymous for quality in adult education. The ANSI/IACET
Standard is recognized as the official standard for CE/T, with a corresponding reputation
for excellence. NASA and CDC count amongst providers accredited to issue the IACET CEU.
