Certificate Accreditation Program Under ANSI/ASTM E2659-18
What is Certificate Accreditation UNDER ANSI/ASTM E2659-18?
The Certificate Accreditation Program is for organizations who issue certificates for training programs in any industry.
Organizations that participate in the ANAB Certificate Accreditation Program will develop or increase their understanding of the accreditation standard’s requirements, and through such understanding, continually improve their organizations.
ANAB accreditation for certificate programs communicates to a customer that their certificates represent quality education and training. In fact, several industries and numerous government organizations already require ANAB accredited certifications (which they might refer to as “ANSI accredited”) for their new hires, and many are considering similar requirements for certificates.
ANAB’s Certificate Accreditation program operates in the following industries:
- Food, Feed and Pharmaceuticals
- Agriculture and Forestry
- Cannabis
- Energy
- Construction/Raw Materials
- IT
- Environmental.
- Health and Safety
