Stage 1 | Self-assessment

In a self-assessment, training providers:

• reflect on their compliance with the Standards and requirements
• prepare a written response to describe this compliance
• rate their performance
• provide supporting documentation to substantiate the response

Stage 2 | External assessment

We assess a training provider’s compliance with the Standards and Requirements by conducting visits or document assessments.

Visits are undertaken by an Accreditation Review Panel and document reviews are undertaken by an assigned Accreditation Lead.

For training providers (non-network) offering both Adult Internal Medicine and Paediatrics & Child Health Basic Training programs, there will be a joint accreditation visit or document assessment.

Stage 3 | External validation

External validation is the decision-making stage of accreditation. It involves a training provider and training program accreditation decision made by the Accreditation Committee. This decision is based on the findings of the external assessment report.

We monitor training providers to ensure ongoing compliance to the Standards and progression with conditions throughout the cycle.

• Managing conditions and recommendations that arise through an accreditation decision
• Undertaking focus reviews on any conditions placed on a training provider or training program as part of an accreditation review
• Managing a change of circumstance that affects the delivery of training at any point during the 4-year accreditation cycle
• Managing a potential breach of Standards at any point during the four-year accreditation cycle
