This interactive workshop is a collaborative learning experience where you'll work through the ANSI/IACET 1-2018 Standard step by step—exploring how the Standard and application are structured, understanding the policies, processes, and evidence required, and applying what you learn to your organization's own practices and documentation.

- Create and/or modify internal policies and processes that comply with the Standard and are required as evidence in the (re)application.
