What is IACET?
IACET stands for the International Accreditors of Continuing Education and Training. This organization is responsible for the development of the original Continuing Education Unit (CEU) and the development and maintenance of the ANSI/IACET Standard for Continuing Education and Training. Their mission is to assist continuing education and training providers in “developing a framework for continuous improvement and a superior learning experience for adult learners.”
How We Got Here
Through a rigorous application process in 2021-2022, The Literacy Nest became an accredited provider to award CEUs for the Building Readers For Life summer conference! We are now featured in the IACET directory as an accredited provider.
