Welcome to the February 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:
Updated Online Core Courses
Last week, you received information on the updated certification requirements for 2015, which includes an update on all of the Core Courses, Core Course Exams and final Certification Exam for applicants seeking the Traditional route for iaedp Certification. The Online Institute and Core Courses have been temporarily under construction; however, the website is now updated, the new Required Reading List is available, and the updated instructions are ready for you upon purchase. The only component still under construction are the Core Course Exams, which are due to be released by the end of this week. So if you are ready to get started, go to www.iaedp.com under Online Institute, click on Core Course #1 link and follow the instructions. Contact Pat Gabbard, at pat@iaedp.com, for any questions.
If you are already in process towards certification and nearing completion of your core courses, don't worry! The changes will not affect you and a grace period will be offered, just like last year, to honor current standards. But if you are new to the process and ready to start, these changes are important and will be required for most applications submitted in 2015.
UPCOMING CERTIFICATION EVENTS:
