What kind of training is available for accreditation inspectors?
Inspector training sessions are held at each AZA Annual Conference and periodically at AZA Mid-Year Meetings as well as AAZV Conferences. These sessions are usually headed by the Vice President, Accreditation Programs and members of the Accreditation Commission. The training sessions include an overview of the accreditation process, requirements and responsibilities of inspectors, and clarification of standards as well as a question and answer session. The Accreditation Inspector’s Handbook is also a wonderful resource of information for current and potential inspectors. It is anticipated that additional training may be required in the future.
