Accredited Tier Specialist Advancement Track
Accredited Tier Specialists (ATSs) can advance their designation through two distinct levels of demonstrated mastery: Accredited Operations Professional or Accredited Tier Professional.
Completion of the initial ATS course and passing the ATS exam results in the student receiving the formal ATS designation. This designation forms the minimum basis for all Tier specialists. Once the ATS designation is earned, graduates can choose to complete additional courseware to advance their career expertise even higher, advancing to the Accredited Operations Professional or Accredited Tier Professional designation.
