Our Goal:
To provide effective, high-quality training to the people working in our industry.
PERC is IACET Accredited
One of PERC’s goals has always been to provide effective, high-quality training to the people working in our industry. We’re pleased to announce PERC has been named an accredited provider by the International Accreditors for Continuing Education and Training (IACET). A key advantage of this accreditation is knowing that with IACET certification, PEP is held to a high, verifiable standard. This also allows PERC to issue IACET continuing education units (CEUs) for instructor-led and eLearning PEP sessions.
PEP-Recognized Instructors and PEP-Recognized Field Trainers
These optional recognitions indicate that the instructor or trainer has passed a rigorous training program to learn more about how to deliver effective in-person training. Recognition also enables the instructor or field trainer to grant CEUs to learners.
Everything You Need is in The Learning Center
Once a learner completes a module and the knowledge assessment at the end, their progress will be recorded in an online transcript within The Learning Center. PERC also has On-the-Job (OJT) Worksheets that can be used with employees to complete hands-on skills training.
The Best of CETP and Much More
For years, the Certified Employee Training Program (CETP) set the standard for the industry. PERC has taken the key learnings from this comprehensive program, and broken it down in smaller, module-based learning paths that are task-specific.
PEP Currently has 8 Learning Paths Available
