Current ASHI Approvals...The
ASHI accreditation system consists of three essential components;
approval, authorization, certification, and discipline.
Approval: ASHI permits eligible individuals and organizations to offer its programs as a Basic or Advanced Training CenterSM. Eligibility is determined by review of an application and application is associated with fees. The comprehensive applications for Basic or Advanced Training Centers may be downloaded from the ASHI website, http://www.ashiinstitute.com/. Authorization: ASHI permits qualified instructors to teach its programs according to professional standards of conduct including the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance that are described in ASHI.s Training Center Administrative Manual. Only instructors authorized by ASHI can teach ASHI programs and certify students. All ASHI Instructors must be affiliated with an ASHI approved Training Center. Certification: ASHI authorized instructors certify students have successfully completed an ASHI program according to the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance that are described in ASHI.s Training Center Administrative Manual. Program standards include Course Prerequisites, Course Materials, Initial & Renewal Instruction Time, Student to Instructor Ratios, Student to Manikin Ratio, Testing Process, and Certification Period. The term "certification" means verification that the student has met the cognitive and psychomotor skill objectives of the course - qualifying them to receive the ASHI Certification Card. Certification does not guarantee future performance, nor imply licensure or clinical competency. Verification of competency is the role of public health licensing agencies, medical specialty boards, and hospitals. Discipline:
ASHI may deny, revoke, suspend or terminate the Training Center
approval or Instructor authorization of an individual or entity
that does not comply with ASHI.s Training Center Administrative
Manual. The principal grounds for discipline is evidence of:
|
a) Serious violations of the Training Center Agreement and/or the Instructor Application. b) Dishonest, unethical, or unprofessional conduct; such as issuing unearned program completion cards, slander, or cultural, physical, racial, gender, age, or sexual bias c) Fraudulent or illegal actions, such as discrimination, forgery, misrepresentation, unauthorized duplication of copyrighted training materials. These actions may also result in criminal and/or civil legal actions. ASHI Professional Standards of Conduct [1]
