About IACAET Credential Verification

An active IACAET credential indicates that, based on the information and evidence assessed by IACAET, the credential holder has met the applicable professional requirements for the credential and has maintained the requirements for current credential status.

An IACAET credential does not constitute governmental licensure or statutory registration and does not replace any professional licence, registration, certification, or other legal authorization that may be required in the jurisdiction where the credential holder practises.

Credential holders remain individually responsible for their professional practice and conduct, including compliance with applicable laws and regulations, professional and ethical standards, scope of practice, and any licensing, registration, safeguarding, or insurance requirements applicable in the jurisdiction in which they work.

Verification of an IACAET credential should not be interpreted as a guarantee of professional performance or of any particular professional service or outcome.
