How to Apply for Educational Activities Accreditation
Applicants submit an application form, along with the required supporting documentation which includes a course programme, certification, evaluation and assessment material. Our Clinical and Educational Specialists conduct a review of the submission against our exacting quality standards and determine the suitability for accreditation. It is at this stage that we may request to arrange attendance at the course. Following a successful report from our Specialists, accreditation will be awarded for up to a three year period.
The College will endeavour to respond to all applications. Applications must be sent at least four weeks prior to the scheduled course date to be considered. Submissions received less than 28 days prior to the scheduled course date are not guaranteed.
Applications for accreditation can be made by contacting the Accreditation team (accreditation@rcsed.ac.uk).
Applications for awarding CPD points only (rather than College accreditation) can be found here.
