What IITTI is:

What IITTI provides to assist:

  • IITTI will provide the Standards and Guidelines document (previously called Learning Outcomes) free of charge to trainers who wish to include the IITTI exam system as a training/ evaluation tool.

  • IITTI will provide IITTI marketing tools (i.e. logo, research data, etc.) to trainers who wish to promote the benefits of the IITTI certification as one of their training tools

  • IITTI will educate the public on steps to take for due diligence in finding a trainer that supports the IITTI Standard.
