Built around real roles
Standards begin with the responsibilities, knowledge, judgment, and leadership required in the field.
The ASI standard
Credibility starts with a clear standard.
ASI is building credential frameworks around defined competencies, evidence, evaluation, governance, and continuing professional growth.
More than attendance
Credentials are intended to recognize relevant education, experience, demonstrated competency, and professional practice.
Independent decisions
Education can support readiness, while credential award decisions remain the responsibility of ASI.
Framework lifecycle
From role analysis to renewal.
Each credential will move through a documented development and maintenance process before public launch.
- Define the role and purpose
Clarify the professionals served, the public value, and the boundaries of the credential.
- Establish competencies
Identify the knowledge, skills, judgment, experience, and behaviors relevant to sound practice.
- Set evidence and assessment rules
Publish what qualifies, how evidence is reviewed, and how decisions are made.
- Approve governance protections
Document ethics, conflicts, appeals, complaints, verification, and credential status controls.
- Review and renew
Maintain relevance through ongoing review and continuing professional-development expectations.
