KTA is an Authorized Provider for IACET

KTA-Tator, Inc., was approved as an Authorized Provider by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) in 2006. In obtaining and maintaining this approval, KTA-Tator has demonstrated that it complies with the ANSI/IACET Standards, which are widely recognized as standards of good practice internationally. As a result of approved membership status in IACET, KTA-Tator is authorized to offer CEUs for its training programs that qualify under the ANSI/IACET Standards.

IACET joined forces with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to set the standards for courses that award CEUs, including the incorporation of teaching and training methods that impact adult learners and courses that deliver specific, measurable learning outcomes. An additional benefit to training clients is that membership in IACET requires the maintenance and security of each trainee’s records for a period of seven years.

Open Registration Verses Contract Courses

While the majority of KTA’s training programs are offered as open-registration courses, training is also available through private contract. Private courses can be scheduled at the client’s facility or at KTA’s Corporate Headquarters in Pittsburgh. The schedule for all open-registration courses, including the dates, location, and prices are listed opposite the registration form in the training brochure. For more information about open-registration or private offerings, please contact KTA’s Training Manager, Diana Knepper at 412.788.1300, ext. 217 or via e-mail at dknepper@kta.com.
