Associate Certified Credentials

The IAABC Associate Certified designation indicates an animal behavior consultant with a solid knowledge base and skillset. Formerly a separate application, this credential is currently granted when a Credentialed applicant is scored at a level sufficient for Associate Certified level but not qualifying for Certified level. Fees and continuing education requirements are the same as for the Certified level.
Associate Certified members qualify to be listed in the IAABC consultant locator and have the right to use the IAABC Associate Certified logo as well as obtain an official certificate detailing their competencies.
