Authorized Training & Assessment Provider
GInI Authorized Providers are independently owned and operated businesses – often training and/or consulting firms – who have chosen to partner with GInI, and thereby operate under GInI’s guidance, to deliver GInI’s certification and accreditation programs to their respective clients.
Authorized Training & Assessment Provider (ATAP)®
GInI Authorized Training & Assessment Providers (ATAPs)® are organizations whom GInI has authorized to provide all of GInI’s products and services, including both its certification program and its accreditation program.
To earn designation as an ATAP, providers must meet or exceed the high standards of quality and effectiveness established by GInI.
Why become an ATAP?
Becoming an ATAP benefits any organization who has clients, employees, or students in the adult learning field, including consulting firms, training centers, corporations, government agencies, universities, and colleges.
By partnering with GInI, you can have full confidence that what you learn – and what you teach – will always reflect the latest in innovation thought leadership. This is because GInI is the undisputed leader in Applied Business Innovation. It has established itself as the global thought leader in how to make business organizations agile, responsive, and resilient through sustained strategic innovation.
