National Accreditation Program – Accreditation of offerings from learning-system providers continues. The latest intake, which began this month, will include our largest number of submissions. If your members are seeking access to education and training programs, we urge you to encourage a first look at those programs that have been accredited. If you are hiring or promoting individuals, give consideration to those individuals that are graduates of accredited programs or courses.
The AGM will be held in Halifax, N.S., on June 10, Full members are encouraged to participate in the AGM, and in the election of directors for the Council. Associate members, and members of associations that are part of the sector, are welcomed to attend as guests (however, those guests will be ineligble to vote). For those of you in Atlantic Canada that wish to attend at your own cost, please let us know. If you want to attend virtually, the meeting will be held with a teleconference and web presence, so you can participate from anywhere in Canada. Contact Margie Stefanich for further details and to indicate your intention to participate.
The National Accreditation Program (NAP) was established to recognize supply chain-related educational offerings that meet the Canadian Supply Chain Sector Council's national standard. The standards used in our accreditation were developed by our sector for our sector, and can be found at
Both individual courses and full programs can be submitted to the Council's Accreditation Review Panel for NAP review. The Panel meets four times a year to consider submissions received by the Council during the preceding three months.
Remaining deadlines for submission in 2010 are August 1st and November 1st.
