Do the regional training providers accredit training programs?

The regional training providers help operators of energy efficiency and renewable energy training programs meet criteria for program accreditation while informing them of the best accreditation standards available. One recognized developer of standards is the Institute for Sustainable Power Quality (ISPQ), which specifies requirements for competency, quality systems, resources, and qualification of a curriculum through which trainers and training programs can be evaluated. The ISPQ creates standards for accreditation for training programs and accreditation for continuing education providers. The Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC) is the North American licensee for the ISPQ standard. IREC manages all aspects of the ISPQ accreditation and certification designations and is responsible for the application, audit, award, and maintenance of the award.
