COVID-19 Update from IACET CEO Casandra Blassingame
Everything is happening very quickly with the COVID-19 outbreak, and none of us can predict any foreseeable outcomes.
With that in mind, I would like to communicate actions we are taking at IACET to protect everyone’s health and safety while continuing to provide you excellent service and support.
Ongoing Support to our IACET Staff, Customers, Applicants, and Partners
The well-being of our staff, customers, applicants, and partners is of paramount importance to us at IACET. We take this public safety precaution very seriously and are closely monitoring the current COVID-19 status and government advice.
To ensure everyone’s health and safety, we are taking regional safety precautions following the recent outbreak, including having IACET employees work remotely.
Please be assured that our IACET staff will remain accessible, and we will continue to provide the full professional support and service our stakeholders trust and expect. This includes continuing to facilitate timely application reviews, help applicants prepare for application submissions, and coordinate registrations for any virtual training.
As an organization serving a global audience, IACET is well-equipped to handle all of your needs remotely via our website. With 24/7 access to the IACET Portal, you have a safe, secure, and convenient way to manage your IACET account and services online. You can:
- Make dues payments and complete annual reports
- Register for upcoming remotely-delivered workshops and other online events
- Access Members Only Resources
- Work on your application if you are currently seeking reaccreditation
Site Visit Options
At this time and until further notice, we are restricting all IACET-related travel for site visits.
Our applicants in the site review phase have two options:
- Have a virtual site review (qualification determined by your Reviewers), or
- Postpone the site review until it is deemed safe to travel again.
If you have been approved for a site review already, please reach out to your reviewers via the application message board to discuss your options.
If you are preparing for re-accreditation, please be assured that, again, our staff stands ready to assist with the process.
Please feel free to reach out to our staff if you have additional questions. In the meantime, take care of yourselves and each other!
