Accreditation Proceedings

Once we’re satisfied that your information aligns with our initial expectations, we send you a contract (protecting your intellectual property rights, outlining payment obligations, timelines, and important details), and then we ask for 50% payment. Once that’s made and we have access to materials and assessments, we can begin the accreditation process.
