Accreditation Process
The accreditation process is a formal, multi-stage evaluation where an external body assesses an organization's compliance with established safety, quality, or academic standards. It typically involves a self-assessment, document review, on-site peer review/visit, and final decision-making, aiming to ensure continuous improvement and credibility.
