Gaining accreditation can be extremely complex at times, standards often include multiple requirements, sometimes competing, that are required to be at a certain level at the same time.
However, Tick Accreditation have worked with organisations to help make the process for gaining accreditation simple and easy to complete.
Initial accreditation
Here’s a simple guide to applying for your accreditation:
- Check what evidence you need to gather on the Requirements.
- Register your organisation on the Portal.
- Navigate to the Microaccreditation you want to apply for.
- Complete the accreditation application using your gathered evidence (you can save drafts).
- Submit application.
- Arrange payment of assessment fee.
- Receive assessor feedback and accreditation.
- If the assessor feels there is insufficient evidence for accreditation, then you are given a further opportunity to resubmit in line with our policies.

Simple guide to annual reaccreditation
If you want to maintain the same accreditation:
- We contact you to submit the reaccreditation form.
- You complete the reaccreditation form and arrange payment.
- You submit updated data.
- We reaccredit you.
If you want to improve your accreditation (e.g. move to gold):
- You complete the full assessment form and arrange payment (as per the Initial accreditation process above).
- Our assessor provides feedback and accreditation.
