Welcome to the March 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:
Certification Breakfast on Friday, March 20th, at 8:00am - 8:55am in sunny Phoenix!
Are you a Chapter Certification Chair? An iaedp member, or non-member, interested in Certification? Please join the Certification Committee for a hot breakfast and Q&A to hear more about the 2015 Certification updates. Location will be listed in the Symposium program that you receive upon arrival.
Updated Certification Requirements
For those who may have missed the announcement about the 2015 Certification requirement updates, please take time to review the changes available on the website, www.iaedp.com under Certification. NOTE: Do not use the drop-down link on the top of the webpage, but peruse all the necessary forms on the Certification or Quick Links webpage itself.
If you are already in process towards certification and nearing completion, 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:
The "Everything You Need to Know about Certfication" Webinar Slideshow is available on the iaedp website, www.iaedp.com, on the Certification page. It reflects the latest updates, so check it out if you haven't had an opportunity to participate in a Chapter-specific webinar yet.
Certification Webinar has been rescheduled for members of the NEW iaedp SO CAL INLAND EMPIRE Chapter in late Spring, date TBD.
Who will be next? Contact Tammy Beasley, Director of Certification, at tammy@iaedp.com to schedule your Chapter.
