ARB’s Accreditation Committee is responsible for making decisions on accreditation matters in accordance with the Accreditation Rules.
All accredited qualifications are subject to the Standard Conditions.
Where it deems appropriate, the Committee may vary any of the Standard Conditions and / or make a qualification subject to ‘additional conditions’.
The Standard Conditions are as follows:
1. Accreditation will commence on the date decided by the Accreditation Committee and continue until accreditation is withdrawn by ARB or at the request of the provider.
2. Accreditation of a qualification will be by reference to the submitted programme specification (or equivalent) and award certificate.
No change may be made to the title of any qualification or to the content (allowing for normal course development) without the permission of ARB. Approval must be sought via the accreditation change procedures determined by ARB.
3. Accreditation will be dependent on continued compliance with ARB’s requirements and Standards for Learning Providers and ARB’s review processes.
4. Annually and by a date approved by ARB, the provider will be required to submit information specified by ARB to enable the Accreditation Committee to see that:
i. ARB’s Competency Outcomes have been met by all graduates
ii. ARB’s requirements and Standards for Learning Providers continue to be met
iii. All conditions of accreditation continue to be met
5. Following each and every set of examinations, the provider will be required to submit to ARB its pass lists of graduates who have received the accredited qualification and a copy of the certificate awarded.
6. Where it deems appropriate, the Accreditation Committee may vary any of the Standard Conditions, make accreditation of a qualification subject to other conditions, and/or require additional information to that submitted for ARB’s review processes.
7. Where it considers that any condition may not or has not been met, ARB may take any action it deems necessary up to and including revocation of accreditation.
