Our Approach
If you are trying to select the right accreditation/certification body for your organization, our consulting team can help you determine the selection of the agency that best fits your organization.
Initial Mock Survey
Our expert consultants conduct an initial mock survey using the most current requirements to develop a detailed report of areas of non-compliance along with providing recommendations for how to achieve compliance. Keep in mind, throughout the initial mock survey, the team will be continuously educating staff and leaders on the accreditation/certification requirements, their intent and how other organizations have achieved compliance.

Once the mock survey is complete, our consultants can continue to support the client with education, policy templates, review of documents and answering questions all while providing the organization with survey readiness tips.
