Our Evidence-based Design Accreditation and Certification™(EDAC) program educates and assesses individuals on their understanding of how to base design decisions on available, credible evidence. Our all-volunteer EDAC Advisory Council monitors the EDAC program and recommends modifications, as needed. Council members advise on examination questions and process, study materials, certification requirements and process, continuing education requirements and other aspects of the program.
