Approved centre accreditation is available to Trusted Advisory Network and Discovery Roadmap members implementing an Institute qualification programme.
To verify an organisation effectively operates our professional qualifications framework, the following areas must be assessed:
Approved Centre status is achievable by following our guidance on setting up a qualifications programme, implementing effective planning and monitoring, and integrating good management practices to demonstrate you meet the requirements.
Whilst conducting your implementation plan, you will meet periodically with your Institute Account Director to review progress. Once your Account Director is satisfied you meet the accreditation requirements, they will make a recommendation to our Accreditation and Quality Assurance Manager.
Our Standards and Quality team will then review and make the final accreditation decision.
Initial approval and certification of Approved Centre status is for a period of one year. Accreditation is thereafter awarded for periods of up to two years.
