What is the first step of the accreditation process?
After determining that an institution is eligible for accreditation from ACCSCT, the very first step is attendance at an accreditation workshop. ACCSCT hosts five accreditation workshops per year throughout the United States. Registration information, including the dates and location of each Accreditation Workshop, can be found on the Calendar page. Schools are reminded that the full-time, on-site director of the school is required to attend an accreditation workshop prior to the submission of the Application for Initial Accreditation (Introduction, Process and Procedures, Accreditation Workshop, Standards of Accreditation). The accreditation workshop will cover the following topics in detail: The Standards of Accreditation, the accreditation process, the application for accreditation, the self evaluation report, visit activities, and commission actions.
