AACE International’s Certification Board is pleased to announce that the certification module is now open and ready to receive certification and recertification applications.

For the past 13 months, AACE staff has been working with software leader ACGI to configure their cloud-based Credentialing Management System – known as Certelligence – to automate and streamline our most critical certification business functions.

Unlike the old system, Certelligence has specifically configured each application based on minimum eligibility requirements. Everything provided from employment date ranges to letter of recommendations has meaning and will determine if the application can be submitted for review. Although the system is robust and sophisticated, it is easy to use.

The new system also features a centralized profile menu to enhance the user’s experience by:

• Making an initial application that allows eligibility verification documentation uploads.
• Providing recertification activity (for three years), that is ultimately used as the application to recertify.
•  Providing a certification overview to keep abreast of when a certification was first given or when it will expire.
• Accessing the directory of all certificants.

As with all new systems, it will take some time to learn how to do something or where to find something. Therefore, we have created a library of tutorials to show how to make an application and how to respond to requests. We have also created several handbooks as a guide to understand the new system’s terms and phrases, writing a technical paper and recertification program options. Visit our website to learn more.

We are pleased with the outcome of this labor-intensive project, and appreciate your patience while waiting for our unveiling. We trust you will see and experience the benefits for yourself.

If you have any questions, experience any technical difficulties, or need more information, please contact Headquarters Certification Staff at certification@aacei.org or 304-296-8444, ext. 1110.
