About BECI
A certificate should stand for something you can check
The Behavioral Ethics & Compliance Institute publishes a quality standard for online behavioral education and holds courses to it.
Why BECI exists
Online behavioral courses vary widely. Some teach real skills, enforce the hours and keep proper records. Others sell a completion document and little else. A judge, attorney, probation officer or employer who is handed a certificate usually has no quick way to tell which kind of course produced it.
BECI answers that with a written standard. It says what a course must teach, how seat time and completion are enforced, what the certificate must show and how anyone can verify it. The standard is public, numbered and dated, so a claim of meeting it can be checked.
What BECI does
Publishes the standard
Thirty numbered requirements in eight areas, versioned and dated.
Reviews courses
Each course is checked against every requirement, then again every 12 months.
Supports verification
Courts and employers are pointed to the lookup for each certificate.
Our approach to behavioral education
Behavioral skills can be learned, practiced and improved. Good instruction pairs accountability with dignity: learners look at the choices they made, the consequences, and what they will do differently, without being shamed. A certificate should be earned, verifiable and tied to a defined body of knowledge.
