JCM receives IACET certification

LAS VEGAS, Nevada – (PRESS RELEASE) -- Las Vegas-based company JCM American has joined the ranks of innovative companies such as GE and IBM and universities such as MIT and Duke and has accomplished two monumental firsts: JCM has become the first company in Nevada and the first company in the gaming industry to attain certification as an IACET authorized training provider by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training.

"This is a monumental achievement," said JCM President Aki Isoi. "Since the company's beginning, continuing training for employees and our customers has been the very core of our business model, and we are honored to be awarded this strict certification. And we are very proud of our training team, led by David Kubajak, for their commitment to training and for pursuing the IACET accreditation."

JCM will waste no time in implementing its IACET accreditation. JCM is conducting two bill validator technical certification training courses at G2E 2006. The first-ever IACET-accredited classes take place November 15, and begin at 8 a.m. Both are held at the Las Vegas Convention Center, room N-231. The classes require pre-registration; for information, contact JCM's Las Vegas office at +1 (702) 651-0000.

IACET is a non-profit association dedicated to quality continuing education and training programs. The organization grew out of a National Task Force on continuing education commissioned by the Bureau of Education (now the Department of Education) in 1968, which determined universal guidelines for continuing education and created the Continuing Education Unit (CEU). Today, IACET's Criteria and Guidelines are the core of thousands of educational programs worldwide.

The organization authorizes education providers that meet strict continuing education guidelines, and IACET certification has become the standard that students seek as a measure of education quality.

The process of becoming an IACET Authorized Provider is extensive. Companies undergo a strict evaluation of their educational processes according to the IACET Criteria and Guidelines, including two reviews by IACET's Commission and a site visit by an IACET Commissioner.
