Existing APS Approved

If your accreditation is due for renewal on or before the 31st December 2009, you can still renew using the APS re-accreditation questionnaire.

The re-accreditation process requires an organisation to complete a questionnaire in which changes introduced to policies and procedures since the programme was first accredited are described where policies have changed these should be backed up with documentary evidence.

However, if your accreditation is due for renewal after the 31st December 2009, then you will be required to re-apply for the new revised version of the standard.   Further guidance will be given in the next couple of months.  

Although your accreditation is valid for 3 years from the date you were approved, you do not necessarily have to wait until the end of this period to be evaluated against the revised standard.

You can find out more about the APS Journey which provides a detailed step by step approach to the new approach of the standard.
