Notes:
*Total Programme Time – This is the number of hours of learning and provides an estimate to how long it will take a typical student, on average, to achieve the learning outcomes you have established; namely what they will know, understand and be able to do having successfully completed your programme. The estimate includes recognised modules, as-well-as the amount of time spent in preparation for these modules, along with independent reading, assignments, study, revision, assessments and the completion of course-work required on the programme, including coaching/mentoring practice.
*All training providers must allocate time on their course/programme to present the IAPC&M’s Code of Professional Conduct, Capability Model and ‘Why Accreditation Matters’ presentation.
*Students can apply for their Accredited Practitioner level providing they have attained a minimum 60 hours of relevant learning and completed a minimum of 60 hours practical experience
*The IAPC&M reserve the right to request further information in support of any application for accreditation at any level.
*Payment of the application fee does not guarantee accreditation.
*Successful accreditation is valid for three years.
Service Level Agreement (SLA)
All accredited training providers enter into a service level agreement (SLA). This ensures that the highest levels of professionalism are maintained as well as ensuring regular two-way communication is available between the IAPC&M and you.
Accreditation Renewal
Every three years you will be required to submit evidence that your programme continues to be delivered at the highest levels expected by the IAPC&M and that you are following our Code of Professional Conduct. Full details of the process are provided when your reaccreditation becomes due.
