The CETL® program is governed by the CETL® Certification Governance Committee, an independent certifying body of CoSN. In adherence to best practices for certifying bodies, CETL® Certification Governance Committee volunteers and CETL® Certification staff are not involved in the development of any preparatory program, and no preparatory program is endorsed by the CETL® Certification Governance Committee nor is a prerequisite to earn the CETL®. The CETL® Certification Governance Committee and its staff are solely responsible for the policies and administration of the CETL® program, including application deadlines and qualification requirements.
