09.5 When must an application for approval of cluster accreditation be submitted?

You should allow some time for the application to be approved.

In concrete terms, this means that following receipt and a brief review, the Head Office asks members of the Accreditation Council who are close to the subject in question for an assessment. This forms the basis of the Board’s final decision. The higher education institutions are informed of this immediately by a letter from the Chairperson via ELIAS.
