Approved Training Organizations

Becky Millard July 5, 2022

Vermont’s Unified Training Criteria (effective 7/1/22) require that a training organization meets quality criteria, training documentation meets verification criteria, and training design meets content criteria.

Some training organizations automatically meet quality criteria and their trainings can count toward training hours in Vermont. These organizations include:

  1. IACET-accredited training organizations
  2. Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) or affiliated organizations
  3. Northern Lights-approved sponsors
  4. Agency of Education, Agency of Human Services, and Vermont public and independent schools

Any other training organizations need to be reviewed and approved by Northern Lights to ensure they meet the Unified Training Criteria. If you find a training organization that you believe meets the criteria but is not listed below, please contact Northern Lights for support.

If you are interested in becoming an approved training organization recognized in Vermont, please visit this link to submit your Request for Approval. If you are a Vermont-based organization and/or you regularly offer in-person or online real-time trainings to Vermont educators, you should consider becoming a Northern Lights-approved sponsor.
