AIRS Certification and Accreditation
Certification Information
AIRS Certification is a professional credentialing program for individuals working within the I&R sector of human services.
Certification is a measurement of documented knowledge in the field of I&R and I&R/A reflecting specific competencies and related performance criteria, which describe the knowledge, skills, attitudes and work-related behaviors needed by I&R practitioners to successfully execute their duties. The AIRS Certification Program is operated in alignment with national standards for credentialing organizations.
Certification is available for three specializations within I&R. Individuals who successfully pass the AIRS certification examination are awarded professional certification (and a lapel pin!), and may use the following credentials after their names:
- CIRS — Certification for I&R Specialists
- CIRS-A/D — Certification for I&R Specialists in Aging/Disability
- CRS — Certification for Resource Specialists
