Sapient Management Consulting Inc. provides continuing education units. (CEU's)
Continuing education units had their beginnings in the 1960's when traditional education began recognized there was more to learning than the formalized methods such as high school, technical training or a university or college degree. Life long learning, as it became known, is the continual striving by an individual to gain ongoing knowledge, skill or expertise as they progress with their careers. As such, some form of recognition could be provided to those who continued to upgrade their skills. The result was an international movement to provide accreditation to a number of not-for-profit institutions who would accredit organizations based on criteria of quality in continuing education, research into education, standards of operation and finally a certification process that culminated in an accreditation process.
A number of essential criteria are always involved in an accreditation process. Sapient Management Consulting Inc's mission is to promote and enhance quality in continuing education to adults. They adhere to the following eight principles, which are based on their ISO 9001-2000 accreditation.
