We uphold core val­ues of Integri­ty, Inclu­sive­ness, Respect, Account­abil­i­ty, Social Jus­tice, Excel­lence, and Safe­ty. Dis­crim­i­na­tion of any kind is not tol­er­at­ed, reflect­ing our ded­i­ca­tion to cre­at­ing an envi­ron­ment where every indi­vid­ual is treat­ed with dig­ni­ty and respect.

Inclu­sive­ness is key, as we val­ue diver­si­ty and respect cul­tur­al dif­fer­ences, under­stand­ing that these are vital to our suc­cess. Respect involves lis­ten­ing to oth­ers, being open to dif­fer­ent view­points, and treat­ing every­one with dig­ni­ty. Account­abil­i­ty requires every­one to share respon­si­bil­i­ty for uphold­ing equal oppor­tu­ni­ty prin­ci­ples and address­ing non-com­pli­ance. Social Jus­tice is reflect­ed in our com­mit­ment to pro­vid­ing access to equal oppor­tu­ni­ties, shared rights, and a voice in our process­es. Excel­lence involves under­stand­ing eth­i­cal and legal stan­dards and valu­ing open, con­struc­tive feed­back. Safe­ty is main­tained by fos­ter­ing a respect­ful envi­ron­ment and address­ing well­ness and men­tal health as core com­po­nents of our work­place culture.

c. We com­mit to pro­vid­ing edu­ca­tion that is cur­rent, accu­rate, and rel­e­vant. Our cur­ricu­lums are reg­u­lar­ly updat­ed to reflect the lat­est devel­op­ments, and our expert instruc­tors are ded­i­cat­ed to con­tin­u­ous pro­fes­sion­al devel­op­ment. We incor­po­rate the lat­est research and tech­nol­o­gy, active­ly seek par­tic­i­pant feed­back, and main­tain rig­or­ous qual­i­ty assur­ance process­es. We also pro­vide access to updat­ed resources.

d. CRANAplus is com­mit­ted to ensur­ing the deliv­ery of high-qual­i­ty edu­ca­tion ser­vices, main­tain­ing integri­ty, pro­fes­sion­al­ism, and respect in all inter­ac­tions with participants.
