AKYLADE is committed to providing a certification process that is fair and free from discrimination. All reasonable efforts are made to ensure that AKYLADE examinations are based on job-related knowledge and tasks. In addition, during item-writing training, editorial review of individual items, and exam review situations, documentation on how to prevent bias and stereotyping is provided in either written or verbal form.
AKYLADE endorses the principle of equal opportunity. Eligibility criteria for examination and for certification under the AKYLADE programs are applied equally to all applicants regardless of race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, ethnicity, veteran status, age, marital status, or disability.
AKYLADE and its test development vendor comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and strive to ensure that no disabled individual is deprived of the opportunity to take a AKYLADE examination solely by reason of that disability. Special testing arrangements may be made for these individuals.
See AKYLADE’s Accommodation Policy.
All testing sites will comply with all federal, state, and local laws regarding the use of public buildings, ensure accessibility required under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and accommodate applicants with disabilities on an individual basis without additional cost.
