The ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) and ASTM International have forged a partnership to strengthen professional training in accreditation requirements and processes. Through their collaboration, ASTM and ANAB will develop courses together and mutually promote one another’s training offerings to broaden their positive impact on the standardization community.

Leveraging the expertise of the two organizations, the partnership focuses on elevating skill sets of professionals across numerous sectors, with jointly developed courses expected to be offered at industry conferences and other popular venues.

“ANAB is excited to collaborate with ASTM International on furthering the reach of training courses,” said David Feist, senior manager of training at ANAB. “The venture reflects the partnership ANAB and ASTM have shared over many years. Many ANAB members chair or serve on ASTM committees. This new partnership is the next step in our longstanding cooperation.”

With a shared commitment to quality, the partnership aims to enhance the training landscape and drive positive outcomes for organizations seeking to invest in accreditation and training.

"We are elated to join forces with ANSI National Accreditation Board and leverage our collective expertise to deliver even greater value to our members," said Tye Lawson- Beard, director of Live Training & OnDemand Solutions of ASTM International. “This partnership will allow us to broaden our training offerings and provide a more comprehensive and tailored approach to meet the diverse needs of our clients."
