The Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) is an evidence-based practice that is supported by a large body of research from around the world. To assure high quality PECS implementation, Pyramid Educational Consultants offers the PECS Certification Program, a process that assesses competence in implementing the PECS protocol.

People who are PECS Implementer Certified and PECS Manager Certified are not licensed PECS Trainers or Consultants and are not authorized, certified, or trained to present PECS Level 1 or Level 2 Trainings. Only those that have achieved PECS Trainer & Supervisor status are authorized to present PECS Level 1 & Level 2 Trainings. More information on the differences among implementers, managers, and supervisors is available on the PECS Training & Certification: What Can I Do? document.

Below is a list of those that have completed the PECS Certification Program and have attained PECS Certified Implementer, PECS Certified Manager, or PECS Certified Supervisor & Trainer (this level reserved for Pyramid Consultants) status:
