Accredited Tier Specialist Advancement Track
Accredited Tier Specialists (ATSs) can advance their designation through three distinct levels of demonstrated mastery: Accredited Tier Specialist, Accredited Tier Specialist - Professional and Accredited Tier Specialist - Expert.
Completion of the initial three day intensive 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 and submit related evidence to advance their career expertise even higher, advancing to the ATS-Professional and ATS-Expert designations through additional courseware and evidence submission.
