Which standard set should I read?
Select the pathway or defined offering you are evaluating. CHSPS will show the document stack, including CORE-100 and any required base standard.
Select a program code to see the standards that work together.
How the system fits together
One shared core, then the standard for the approved scope.
Pathway standard
CERT, EDP, COURSE, ABC, WBL or one of the six specialty accreditation standards defines the scope-specific requirements.
Supplement or scope module
Where applicable, a defined offering adds requirements to a base accreditation rather than replacing it.
Certified System standard
APS and ALTP evaluate a named technology system under their own defined-offering standard, together with applicable shared core requirements.
ExampleHSAI-AI
CORE-100 + HSAI-210 + HSAI-215
ExampleWCA-TEL
CORE-100 + WCA-410 + WCA-415
ExampleALT provider supplement
