Accreditation assures the customer that the money they have invested in a course or supplier will be worthwhile; the accreditor (us, at APMG) have the responsibility of ensuring this is the case through subjecting organizations to a series of detailed assessments on their processes and personnel.
After the initial assessments, the organizations we accredit are continuously monitored to ensure they maintain their standards. Every 5 years the organization and their trainers undergo a full reassessment.
Whether your goal is professional or organizational development, becoming accredited is a win-win for customer and organizations alike; it infuses confidence into both ends of the supply chain. You can be confident the product(s) you are providing meet the standards expected within a specific industry, and the consumer can be sure they are making a worthwhile investment that celebrates a quality-centric, high standard approach.
