TANDEM Cat® Professional Education

Credentialing Standards

TANDEM publishes who is eligible, what is assessed, how decisions are made, how assessors are calibrated, what happens when a learner does not pass, how credentials remain active, and how concerns are reviewed.

A credential is only as credible as the system behind it

What the public can inspect

  • Eligibility and prerequisites.
  • Required coursework and evidence.
  • Assessment domains and pass standards.
  • Critical errors and automatic remediation.
  • Assessor qualification and conflicts.
  • Decision, notification, remediation, and appeal.
  • Credential use, registry, renewal, suspension, and reinstatement.
  • Complaints, evidence review, confidentiality, and due process.

Education, assessment, certification, and licensing are documented separately

The governance page identifies which entity creates and sells education, which entity owns intellectual property, who makes credential decisions, who maintains the registry, how Cats in the City functions as the clinical field laboratory, and how conflicts are managed.
