Yes, it’s always a great plan to advance to the next level to provide your patients and clients exceptional care! The American Conference of Audioprosthology (ACA) was a former program that provided exceptional education, but is no longer available. The AHAP program offers more modern specialized mastery. ACA holders are eligible to enroll in an expedited AHAP program track, recognizing their coursework from the legacy program.
The AHAP program is structured with two (2) terms and a hands-on workshop. The two terms are virtual and self-paced, allowing participants to complete the coursework for each module on their schedule. The hands-on workshop is the only in-person component where learners participate in hands-on instruction to fully master the skills, such as ear impressions and probe microphone measures.
Yes, the program is fully on-demand, allowing you to complete the modules at your convenience. The only time requirement is that course and the assessment must be completed within six months from the date you start the online course, not from the date of purchase.
Professionals who earned the ACA designation enhanced their ability to better serve individuals with hearing loss through the 13-month course and subsequent practicum. The program’s objective was to provide an educational opportunity for those who engage in hearing aid dispensing and ensure that they practice at an advanced professional, technical, and ethical level.
