What does WANLPC Accreditation entail?
WANLPC Accredited Trainers undergo a rigorous application process involving scrutiny of their course materials, approval of policies and procedures, and an interview with a member of the External Verification Panel. Accreditation is granted only after these checks are completed. Once accredited, trainers are subject to annual reviews to ensure ongoing compliance with standards.
The application process for WANLPC accreditation requires completion of a detailed form submitted online, along with all necessary supporting documentation. Applications are reviewed by a member of the External Verification Panel.
Upon approval, trainers are responsible for internally monitoring and evaluating their trainees in every course to maintain standards. WANLPC issues uniquely numbered Accredited Certificates to successful trainees, recorded in the central Accreditation Register.
