Application

When candidates believe they have made the
necessary professional development and quality improvements, they demonstrate their commitment
to completing the process when they submit the
Accreditation Application.

The application step includes both the application
and request for observation visit.  Upon receipt of the application, NAFCC assesses candidate eligibility
for completing the accreditation process.





How to Apply for Accreditation
Candidates must have enrolled in self-study to apply for accreditation.  Candidates must meet all eligibility requirements and submit an application with all applicable documents in order for NAFCC to verify eligibility.

If candidates are applying as co-providers, they must each meet the eligibility criteria.  Co-providers will submit one application, which includes required information for both candidates.

The application and applicable documents are included in the self study kit and are available on this website.
