ACI Certification....It's NOT Training
Please join us as we discuss the importance of Why ACI Certification is important for your staff. ACI certification provides independent verification that a person possesses an appropriate level of competence to perform specific responsibilities. All too often though firms are sending employees, or individuals are registering themselves, with little to no experience or preparation, who expect to become certified simply by attending a session. That is not the case with ACI certifications. There are several things you can do to better prepare these people before they sign up to get certified. We will have time to discuss some of the issues facing the Field Testing in SoAZ and see how we can work together to increase the quality of the process. Come share your thoughts and experiences with your peers. Crystal Peterson with Ninyo and Moore and Jason Savage with Euclid Chemical will lead the discussions. If you wish to Sponsor the meeting so we can keep them free in Tucson, we appreciate your support!
