International Association for Continuing Education and Training
The Support Center's CEU accreditation is through International Association for Continuing Education & Training (IACET). IACET grew out of a National Task Force on continuing education commissioned by the Bureau of Education (now the Department of Education) in 1968. IACET's mission is to promote and enhance quality continuing education and training through research, education and standard setting.
