Environmental Industry Certificates of Training vs. Accredited Third-Party Certifications

PHOENIX - Dec. 26, 2016 - PRLog -- Today, the IAQ Video Network and Cochrane & Associates announced the release of their latest educational video.  Their newest production discusses some of the differences between certificates of training and accredited third-party certification in the environmental industry.

"A certificate of training cannot prove that a worker is knowledgeable and competent because it provides no means of independent verification," said Paul Cochrane, President of Cochrane and Associates and the IAQ Video Network.  "However, an accredited third-party certification provides a reliable means of verifying a worker's knowledge because it can meet the three foundations of credibility:  third-party verification, content validity and psychometric support."

This educational video was sponsored by a number of organizations and leading industry professionals that work to protect and enhance the public's health and safety. Sponsors include: ACAC, EMSL Analytical, LA Testing, Clark Seif Clark, Zimmetry Environmental, VOETS and Healthy Indoors Magazine to name just a few.
