The process

Bronze accreditation is tested through the submission of specific pieces of evidence. To make it easier for organisations to enter our award system, we now offer an Online Application option for Bronze. This enables you to prepare the evidence, upload it and make payment through our website.

You can also request guided accreditation by speaking to one of the team.
