Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

ACI Certification programs are ADA compliant.

If you have a disability and are qualified to do a job, the ADA protects you from job discrimination on the basis of your disability. To be protected under the ADA, you must have a substantial—as opposed to a minor—impairment. (A “substantial” impairment is one that significantly limits or restricts a major life activity such as hearing, seeing, speaking, walking, breathing, performing manual tasks, caring for oneself, learning or working.) If you have a disability, you must also be qualified to perform the essential functions or duties of a job, with or without reasonable accommodation, in order to be protected from job discrimination by the ADA.

ACI Certification programs are ADA-compliant. Individuals who are seeking certification and require reasonable accommodations must provide ACI Certification with a letter from their physician that outlines the recommended accommodations. ACI will review the request and formulate a recommended course of action for the Sponsoring Group (Testing Center) to follow. All requests are handled on a case-by-case basis and must be made allowing enough time for evaluation and appropriate action by ACI.
