What is Accreditation?


Accreditation is the process by which a credentialing or educational program is evaluated against defined standards by a third party. When in compliance with these standards, it is awarded recognition. 

The Value of Accreditation

  • Enables credentialing organizations to demonstrate to profession it represents, and to general public its certificants serve, that their program has met the stringent standards set by the credentialing community
     
  • Enhances a program's credibility and legitimacy by providing impartial, third party oversight of a conformity assessment system
     
  • Provides organizations with a way to answer the question "who reviewed your certificate/certification program?", a question often posed by members of an occupation, employers, and sometimes, the courts
