Certification upholds the Berard AIT standards of excellence

Training as a practitioner is available for those providing educational services within their professional field. A master's or doctoral degree is required, or a bachelor's degree with 5 years of actual "on-the-job" experience in a field related to special needs and/or developmental disabilities.

The Berard AIT Instructor will advise you if there are questions about eligibility.

A provisional certificate is awarded at the end of the seminar. The Berard AIT Certificate of Completion is then awarded within eighteen months upon completing the Intern Period and fifteen case studies.
