Accreditation duration

 

core definition

Accreditation decisions are usually limited to a fixed and stated period of time, after which the institution or programme is required to engage with a more or less rigorous re-accreditation process.

 

analytical review

One view of duration of accreditation links it to ongoing monitoring of the accredited institution/programme:

 

The duration of validity of the accreditation license is established by the accrediting body, which generally holds the right to suspend and/or to renew the license, upon the satisfactory resolution of any identified issues. (Vlăsceanu, et al., 2004, p. 20)
