Supersonic Safety Research is not making a judgement either way on ACFEI, but we do want to talk a little bit about accreditation and certification. We all would like to add to our skill sets by additional training and valid certifications; however we also want to deal with reputable organizations and get quality training. So, how do we know, how do we assess the institutions and companies to ensure quality and validity? In some instances we can go here:

This is the US Department of Education, Accreditation Institution Search. or you can Search by Accrediting Agency.
Tomorrow we'll talk more about finding accredited and reputable certifications.
