The e-Trust was established by the Academy in 2004. The divisions mission is to serve the Academy, its support organizations, and client institutions with assessment and credential management services to contribute to and enable ongoing growth and stability. The Key to the eTrust process is what is referred to as "The Model".

The e-Trust MODEL promotes growth and stability among education institutions. Built around the concept that all educational institution success is built around the quality of the students recruited and the competency of the faculty who teach them. The eTrust frees an institution of the costly risks associated with the unknowns of  recruiting online students and the faculty charged with their education.

The e-Trust services are restricted to client/partner institutions of the Academy who desire to manage the expansion of their online services. The  "Model" was developed by the e-Trust for the exclusive use of the Academy's various divisions as well as  client/partners on demand.
