Lincoln named accredited provider
LINCOLN Electric has successfully
passed a rigorous accreditation process
to become an IACET Accredited
Provider (AP) of continuing educational
programming. The company will now
be able to offer accredited continuing
education units (CEUs) for educational
workshops, seminars and welding school
courses held at its global headquarters in
Cleveland, Ohio, USA.
“This recognition is a major
milestone in Lincoln Electric’s ongoing
development of strong continuing
education and training initiatives,” said
Jason Scales, manager of education
services at Lincoln Electric. “We can
now offer valuable CEU credits to those
who enrol at programmes here at our
Cleveland headquarters, which takes
our training to a new level.”
According to IACET’s mission
statement, the organisation “leads the
way in bringing quality, excellence and
integrity to continuing education and
training programs around the world.” Its
mission is toadvance theglobal workforce
by providing the standard framework
for quality learning and development
through accreditation. The organisation’s
history includes developing the original
CEU and creating and maintaining the
ANSI/IACET Standard for Continuing
Education and Training.
Through its new status as an IACETAP,
Mr Scales says LincolnElectric’s in-house
educators are assessing continuing
education and training programmes for
potential CEU opportunities for future
participants. The company is also looking
at new courses to develop for future
opportunities for welding professionals to
obtain both CEU and skills growth.
This IACET accreditation is another
notable achievement in Lincoln Electric’s
growth in the education sector. In
addition to its workshops, seminars and
welding school courses, and in support of
the continued effort to teach future skilled
workers the art and craft of welding,
Lincoln Electric has created a successful
programme to bring learning and high
quality educational products to welding
professionals and welding educators.
These offerings can be accessed
through the company’s in-depth, online
Education Resource, where visitors can
register for seminars and workshops,
enrol in the company’s registered Weld
