Updated Sept. 9, 2022

IACET CEUs

We are accredited by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET). We comply with the ANSI/IACET standard, which is recognized internationally as a standard of excellence in instructional practices. As a result of this accreditation, we are authorized to issue IACET continuing education units (CEUs). To receive CEUs, attendees need to participate and complete all the activities and assignments for the courses they attend.

Payment Policy

Payment for all online and in-person courses, as well as for our larger educational events such as the annual professional development conference and SafetyFOCUS, is due when you register. ASSP does not accept purchase orders for individual course registration.

Please contact our sales/customer service team at +1 (847) 699-2929 about using a purchase order when registering a group to attend an event such as SafetyFOCUS or the annual professional development conference.

Cancellation Policy

  • We will grant full refunds to those who submit written requests within 10 business days of the start date of the course by emailing customerservice@assp.org.
  • Learners who register but do not attend their course, or who attempt to cancel after the deadline, will not receive a refund.
  • If learning resources such as standards or videos are included in the registration price of your course, and you access those resources using your ASSP My Learning account prior to the course’s start date, you will be ineligible for a refund.
  • We charge a $25 processing fee for substitutions.
  • Submit substitutions in writing within 10 business days of the start date of the course by emailing customerservice@assp.org. If pricing for the new attendee changes the total cost of attending the event, we will charge or refund you the difference.
  • We reserve the right to cancel any course at any time and to substitute faculty should unforeseen events occur.
  • If, for any reason, we must cancel a course or event, liability is limited solely to the registration fees paid.
