Key Takeaway: In 1975, the ASPA Accreditation Institute (AAI) was formed with the expectation that they would develop a national body of knowledge for the human resources profession and develop a program to measure the knowledge of those working in the industry.

The AAI formed six core competency areas: Employment, Placement, and Personnel Placement; Training and Development; Compensation and Benefits; Health, Safety, and Security; Employee Labor and Relations; and Personnel Research (which later became Management Practices).
