There is an option for long term, experienced adult education instructors to receive their AEIDP credential

This avenue for the AEIDP credential is intended for instructors who have been working continuously in the field of adult education and may have taken their new teacher training prior to 2013.  This process is comprised of 3 topics rather than the 6 topics covered by the current new teacher training.  The AEIDP reviews relevant research, evidence-based methodologies, learning-philosophies, and instructional frameworks. Participants must successfully complete the following 3 units to earn this credential.

TABE 11 & 12 Certification

Data Recognition Corporation provides a free online training for programs interested in having their staff certified as TABE Test Administrators. TABE Certification consist of two unique, hour-long presentations, each of which is followed by a 30-item test. Upon successfully completing the training and passing the tests participants will be certified to handle, score, and proctor TABE 11&12 tests. Participants can elect to print their Certificate of Completion, save it for later use, or have it emailed to them.  These certificates should be attached to the AEIDP certification application.
