(a) The aim of an accreditation visit to an ALS is to determine whether graduates of the ALS, who will apply for registration as candidates in any of the SACAP’s four registration categories, meet the minimum standards of competencies associated with the category of registration.

 

(b)The accreditation visit is an evidence-led and interactive evaluation of an ALS and the qualifications offered. Therefore, the ALS shall prepare documentation (detail in Appendix B) and evidence (detail in Appendix C) which is reviewed by an Accreditation Board which then makes a recommendation based on its findings.

 

(c) In preparation for accreditation visit, the ALS must consider budget, the preparation of the accreditation document, the compilation and presentation of the evidence, and the logistics of the visit.
