WisTech Assistive Technology Credential Course Application

WisTech Assistive Technology Credentials Course Application

Thank you for your interest in participating in the WisTech Assistive Technology Credential Course.

WisTech, under direction of the Statewide Assistive Technology Advisory Council, has developed assistive technology (AT) coursework for providers in Wisconsin to become WisTech AT certified and ATP (Assistive Technology Professional) verified. These certifications build and recognize the experience and knowledge needed to provide high-quality, consumer-driven, and comprehensive AT services.

WisTech offers AT credentials depending on the provider's background experience:

WisTech AT credential
WisTech Verified ATP (Assistive Technology Professional) credential

This application is to enroll in either of these credentials. Participants are enrolled as a "cohort" of approximately 20 students. Please fill out the following questionnaire to apply for participation. You will receive a confirmation email and will be provided a timeline for when a cohort will be available for you.

WisTech AT certification

This certification is for those providers who are expanding their knowledge in the areas of AT, assessments, and service delivery. The WisTech AT certification course consists of 12 weekly learning modules, discussion posts, self-knowledge checks, AT product reviews, and a case study report writing activity. This credential will be valid for two years and renewable with submission of ongoing professional development in the area of assistive technology. This curriculum will also benefit service providers who are interested in pursuing the ATP certification from the Rehabilitation Engineers Society of North America (RESNA) in the future.

The AT credential course registration cost is $500. Renewals will incur a fee of $50 every two years along with documentation of 2.0 hours of CEU professional development related to assistive technology.

WisTech Verified ATP certification

This certification is for those providers who hold the Assistive Technology Provider (ATP) international certification from RESNA. The WisTech ATP verification course consists of three learning modules and a self-knowledge check. It also aligns with the renewal date of the provider's existing RESNA ATP certification. Future versions for other national certifications will be made available.

This course is available at no cost for those holding a current RESNA ATP Credential. Renewals will incur a fee of $50 every two years along with documentation of current ATP status. No payment is required during the application process.
