Step 2: We will assign an accreditation assessor

We will assign your organisation with an accreditation assessor.

The assessor will be in touch to let you know they have been assigned to your application. They can answer any questions you have about your application and the process.

Step 3: Assessor does an assessment

An accreditation assessor will review the information and documents you've provided. They will check to see if you meet the requirements for the addition you have applied for and also consider any findings from previous assessment reviews.

Once your application has been reviewed, we will contact you to confirm the next steps. A site visit is normally required for a new delivery site.

Step 4: Application outcome

The assessor will send you an assessment summary report and approval certificate confirming the outcome of your application.
