Gravitec Renews Status as Authorized Provider of IACET CEUs

BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, Wash., September 7, 2011 – The International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) has awarded Gravitec Systems, Inc., a leading provider of fall protection and rescue training, the prestigious Authorized Provider status for a renewed period. IACET Authorized Providers are the only organizations approved to offer IACET continuing education units (CEUs).  The recognition period extends for five years, and includes all programs offered or created during that time.

Gravitec was first awarded Authorized Provider status in 2001 and has since undergone a rigorous audit to successfully demonstrate its adherence to the ANSI/IACET 1-2007 Standard addressing the design, development, administration and evaluation of its programs.

“We’re extremely proud of our training programs, which provide safety practitioners and industry professionals with the required knowledge and skill sets to effectively address fall hazards in the workplace,” said Gravitec Training Manager Kevin Denis. "AP status not only enables Gravitec to satisfy industry requirements for continuing education but allows us to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to quality education.”

The goal of IACET’s AP program is to provide an opportunity for organizations conducting continuing education and training to benchmark their current operations to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) approved IACET Continuing Education and Training Standard. Gravitec joins nearly 650 organizations around the globe that have had their programs vetted by third-party experts in continuing education to ensure the highest possible standards are met.
