FAQ

Does purchase guarantee approval?: No. Payment opens your applicant portal. Credentials are issued only after an ASDI-affiliated certified trainer approves a complete submission.
How does the $50 Skills Pre-Check work?: It’s for handlers who are confident their dog will pass. You upload materials for a trainer pre-check. If approved, your $50 becomes credit toward Standard, Expedited, or Plus (materials carry forward). If not approved, the $50 is non-refundable. Pre-Check alone does not issue a credential.
Is this a government or ADA certification?: No. ASDI does not issue government or ADA-mandated certifications. Under the ADA, documentation is voluntary and businesses may not require ID for entry.
When does the Expedited review clock start?: After your application and required videos are complete—not at payment alone.
Can I upgrade from Standard to Expedited?: Yes, before trainer review starts, by paying the difference shown in your applicant portal.
