Why Does the ABA Now Require That ABA Certificants Obtain Tier 1 Continuing Education Hours, in Addition to Typical Continuing Education Hours, for Recertification?
One of the hallmarks of the ABA certification program is a quest for excellence through lifelong learning. These more stringent recertification requirements encourage participants in ABAs voluntary certification program to continually enhance their knowledge base and stay abreast of cutting-edge developments in audiology and related fields. Additionally, Tier 1 activities are more intensive and encourage active, rather than passive, learning and involvement in the educational activity.
