| Abstract: | The American Compensation Association (ACA) has been certifying HR professionals since 1976. Its certification programs are based on a contemporary, evolving body of knowledge that reflects leading‐edge human resource competencies. Many people choose seminars to prepare for ACA exams. Taught by a cadre of nearly 400 practitioners, ACA's seminars are offered through hotel and conference centers, corporate in‐house programs, and, most recently, through the Academic Partnership Network (APN). The APN, established in 1997, serves as ACA's link to college and university teaching and research communities. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. |
