Tips for Accreditation and Re-accreditation

Here are 5 Quick tips:

1. Review the How to Apply for Accreditation  page on AMCI Institute's website.  There you will find an overview of the accreditation process with forms and procedures to follow..
   
   
2. Review the AMCI Standard of Good Practices. There have been several changes made in the latest revision which went into effect on January 1, 2015.  All accredited firms and those becoming accredited for the first time will need to comply with these changes.
   
   
3. We all have policies for our organization and procedures for the tasks we do every day.  If they are not documented, take the time to document them.  Implement the documented policies and regularly review them to make sure they are compliant with the AMCI Standards. 
   
   
4. Use a check list to review each section of the standard in relation to your policies.  You can create your own or use our sample checklist as a guide. The checklist can be tailored to reflect your organization's size and complexity.
   
   
5. Give your reviewer these links:   Information for the Reviewer and Understanding the Review Process.  In addition to the actual review it is good for the reviewer to have a pre-review call with the organization.
