Oceantic Network Earns IACET Accreditation, Elevating Offshore Wind Education Standards

Oceantic Network announced it has earned accreditation from the International Accreditors for Continuing Education and Training (IACET), the leading not-for-profit organization ensuring accessible, relevant, high-quality education for all learners. Oceantic is committed to delivering high-quality, standards-based education and training programs for the offshore wind and marine renewable energy industries. As an Accredited Provider, Oceantic is now authorized to offer IACET Continuing Education Units (CEUs) across its suite of training programs, including Offshore Wind 101, Offshore Wind Ready, and Foundation 2 Blade courses. 

“IACET accreditation is a significant milestone for Oceantic Network and a powerful endorsement of the quality and rigor of our education and training offerings,” said Liz Burdock, CEO of Oceantic Network. “This achievement reflects our dedication to providing industry learners and member companies with trusted, transferable credentials that support professional growth and industry advancement. It’s a win for our members and the offshore wind workforce at large.” 

The accreditation, granted at the organizational level, ensures that all Oceantic education and training programs meet the highest standards for continuing education. Learners who complete Oceantic courses can now receive CEUs that are recognized by employers, licensing authorities, and certification bodies nationwide. These units are transferable between cooperating organizations, enhancing their value across career transitions and employer changes. 

Achieving IACET accreditation was a strategic priority for the organization in 2025. Plans to expand CEU offerings to additional learning events, including the annual International Partnering Forum (IPF), will advance, further strengthening Oceantic’s role as a leader in the education and development of the U.S. offshore wind supply chain.
