Authorized Training Affiliate (ATA)

Accredited Training Providers (ATP) may license third parties accredited course materials to become an Authorized Training Affiliate (ATA) with the ATP's Examination Institute (EI). Use of accredited material does not, of itself, amount to accreditation and such third parties are not authorized to make any statements suggesting any level of approval by the Examination Institute (EI) or be entitled to use EI's logos unless they themselves become accredited. Under this model, the ATA must identify the courseware provider as the ATP of record in all marketing literature and advertisements along with routing all requests for examinations or other administrative services through ATP.

Accredited Training Provider (ATP)

Organizations seeking accreditation as an Accredited Training Provider (ATP) using another ATP's course material are required as part of their submission to provide a letter of authorization and a copy of the licensing agreement from the Accredited Training Organization to say that the material is used with their permission. All other parts of the stage two application must be submitted to the EI for review and approval. Once approved by the EI, the ATP will be entitled to use EI's logos along with ordering examinations direct from the EI.
