Graduate Certification Pipeline
The AADP Graduate Certification Pipeline is a required program for Accredited Schools that creates a verifiable, streamlined pathway from program completion to professional certification.
Accredited School Responsibilities
- Submit an annual graduating student roster
- Verify program completion
- Inform graduates of AADP certification eligibility
- Participate in annual reporting metrics
AADP Responsibilities
- Provide a streamlined certification pathway
- Issue certification invitations to eligible graduates
- Track graduate outcomes and participation metrics
- Provide institutional feedback reporting (as applicable)
Why Participation Is Required
- Creates measurable graduate outcomes
- Protects standards and verification integrity
- Strengthens institutional credibility
- Builds a consistent professional pathway for graduates
Recognition of an institution does not automatically grant individual certification. Each graduate must independently meet established certification criteria and complete the required application process.
Note: Failure to participate in required reporting may result in probation or downgrade of accreditation status.
