Accreditation is a system, which officially recognizes educational training organizations and programmes associated with those organizations for having attained a level of performance, integrity and quality.

The standard for accreditation stipulates the criteria against which the organization will be measured to determine if it has the capacity to offer training and assessment services. These include:

1. Quality Assurance and Control
2. Staff Resource
3. Physical Resources
4. Client Services and Activities
5. Training
6. Assessment
7. Evaluation

An Accredited Training Organization (ATO) status is granted for a period of four (4) years after which time the organization must seek re-affirmation of status.

Any formal public or private training organization offering training and assessment or assessment services only are eligible to apply. The organization should be registered either with the Ministry of Education or the Registrar of Companies.

Fees
An application fee must be submitted with the application form. The application fee is refundable if the application is rejected by the NCTVET.

Evaluation processing fee includes hotel accommodation, evaluation fees, traveling expenses and other administrative costs for the evaluation. This is collected at the end of the accreditation process before the decision is communicated to you.

Accreditation maintenance fee is paid yearly and submitted with the annual report.
