All CoSN Professional Learning opportunities are independent of the CETL®  certification program, which requires a separate application. 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.
