I-CAR USA has been awarded achievement of accreditation by International Accreditors for Continuing Education and Training (IACET).
I-CAR said it is the only organisation within the ‘collision repair inter-industry’ to achieve accreditation after developing effective and valuable continuing education and training programmes across nine IACET-recognised educational programming excellence categories.
I-CAR President & CEO John Van Alstyne said the achievement can be likened to an ISO certification within the OEM sector.
“I-CAR’s IACET accreditation is another symbol of our commitment to top-quality industry technical education and the highest of standards for course development across our entire curriculum portfolio, further advancing I-CAR’s leadership in providing relevant, accessible collision repair education and programmes,” said Van Alstyne. “The rigor placed by our team behind delivery of I-CAR courses, now coupled with the strict requirements necessary to maintain accreditation, is unparalleled and will provide all learners from our inter-industry an advanced level of training to further their career paths.”
According to I-CAR’s Director Protocols, Licensing and Quality Management, David Parzen, I-CAR completed an extremely thorough evaluation process and successfully demonstrated adherence to IACET standards by addressing the design, development, administration, and assessment of its programmes.
As an IACET accredited provider, I-CAR offers IACET CEUs for its learning events that comply with the ANSI/IACET Continuing Education and Training Standard.
“This IACET designation further reinforces our steadfast commitment to world-class quality in leading educational programming, technical information, and technical services for the inter-industry, and our organisation is proud to be associated,” Van Alstyne said. “Achieving IACET accreditation is in lock-step alignment with our vision that every person in the industry has the information, knowledge, and skills required to perform a complete, safe, and quality repair for the ultimate benefit of the consumer. We are raising the bar for I-CAR and its partners too, ensuring learners are receiving the educational experience they deserve.”
