Welcome to the August edition of "Certification News You Can Use", a monthly newsletter about certification published on the first Tuesday of each month. Each newsletter will highlight important updates regarding certification and recognize all new certified IAEDP members for each month. As the Certification Director, I appreciate the dedication and passion of all those who are pursuing advanced skills and recognition by applying for iaedp's Certification designations.
HOT OFF THE PRESS:
1.As noted on the Certification Application itself, please do not send your application by certified mail, requiring a signature for delivery. Regular postal mail to the IAEDP P.O. Box (address on the application) will ensure that your application review process is not delayed.
2.Membership in IAEDP is a requirement for both Traditional and Equivalency Certification. If you are not a current member, you may submit BOTH the Certification and Membership applications, with a combined fee payment by check, at the same time. Membership status is verified prior to receiving notice of approval, so to avoid unnecessary delays, you are encouraged to ensure membership before or at the same time as the certification application.
3.Remember, transcripts are no longer required for the application process as long as the applicant has an active, current license to practice as an independent clinician within his or her discipline.
