The ABA will not create or dissolve certification programs without the authorization of the Academy board.
• Create and maintain assessment-based certificate programs to offer audiologists instruction and non-degree training to acquire mastery of intended learning outcomes. The ABA will not create or dissolve certificate programs without the authorization of the Academy board.
• Increase awareness of and recognition by audiologists and students of the importance of credentialing.
