What is IABC Accreditation
"The certification of business consultants run
through the Institute of Accredited Business Consultants (IABC) is an assurance of excellence for New Zealand business
owners.
The IABC recommends that
business owners seeking advice and assistance appoint IABC-certified practitioners in the
first instance." (referwww.iabc.org.nz).
"Certification is awarded only after consultants have passed a number of assessments which test their
experience, their knowledge, the quality and relevance of their advice and the success they have achieved for
clients. Their professional qualifications and commitment to best practice standards are also measured.
Only those business consultants who demonstrate the required levels of excellence are awarded the national
title of NZ Certified Business Consultant (NZ CBC). All Certified Consultants must commit to the IABC code of
ethics which is strictly enforced.
The IABC also awards international certification but Consultants first have to complete Auckland University
of Technology's APEC-IBIZ Training and Certification Programme, which covers 60 competencies that prove they
can fulfil their role effectively." (from www.iabc.org.nz)
