PSIA-AASI

The following are the current PSIA-AASI education/certification standards. Referenced to PSIA-AASI manuals, terminology consistent with these manuals is used throughout these documents. These standards provide a training focus and represent a minimum competency for each level of certification.

The premise of the certification standards is based upon the concepts of “levels of understanding,” which define stages of learning in degrees of understanding. As certification is a measure of understanding, levels of certification represent stages of understanding. Candidates will be held to the knowledge and performance standards of the level at which they are testing as well as the criteria for all preceding levels.
