Professional recognition program

The Credentialling Program is ADEA’s professional development and assurance program.  Diabetes educators who meet all the requirements of the Credentialling Program are recognised for their commitment to ongoing professional development and for their knowledge, skills, expertise and experience in the field of diabetes education by being awarded status as a Credentialled Diabetes Educators (CDE).  Credentialled Diabetes Educators are required to meet the credentialling program’s prescribed criteria annually to retain their CDE status.

ADEA Fellowship

This recognition category of longevity and experience as a Credentialled Diabetes Educator, approved by the ADEA Board in 2016 and implemented in 2017, acknowledges those CDEs who have committed to their career in diabetes education for a minimum of 15 years and have retained their CDE status over this time. For further information on ADEA Fellowship and application details, follow this link: ADEA Fellowship.

Accreditation and endorsement is an assurance to our members that the courses and professional development activities will meet professional standards, expectations and needs of CDE.

The ADEA acknowledges members who have demonstrated outstanding achievements in and dedication to excellence in diabetes education and care through its awards and scholarship program.
