Where's the Standards Manual?
|
|
For ease and convenience, all PATH Intl. members have access to the 2018 PATH Intl. Standards for Certification and Accreditation manual in the "My Downloads" section of their member portal. No need to find it in the store, add it to the cart and check out!
Having trouble finding the "My Downloads" section? For best results we recommend using Google Chrome as your internet browser when you log in. Other browsers, especially Safari and Internet Explorer, are not as compatible with certain features and functions of the site. If you are using Google Chrome but don't see the "My Downloads" link on your profile page when you first log in, try clicking on the "Profile" tab at the top of the page, in the green banner. This refreshes/reloads the profile page, and the majority of the time it will load the "My Downloads" section onto the page. More questions? Contact Karen Province.
