Note on ADA Consultant Certification

Completion of the ADA Basic Building Blocks webcourse does not certify you as an ADA Consultant. "ADA Consultant Certification" does not exist nor is recognized by any Federal enforcement agency. The Department of Justice (DOJ) states the following in a technical assistance letter dated October 15, 1993:

"The Department of Justice does not certify or endorse any individual or organization as ADA consultants, and does not approve or endorse any products or designs as being in compliance with the ADA. Any individual or business claiming to have such a certification or endorsement may be violating various state and federal laws prohibiting fraud and misrepresentation."
