There are three levels of accreditation, Delayed Accreditation, Interim Accreditation, and Full Accreditation

Delayed Accreditation, Interim Accreditation and Full Global Accreditation

1. An institution should apply for full accreditation from the onset at cost of $500
2. If it scores less than 50%, it will be given an opportunity to address the shortfalls and resubmit the accreditation form and pay half the fee ($250) at each resubmission, until it achieves, either interim or full accreditation.
3. For an institution to achieve Interim Accreditation, an institution should meet a score of 51%-75%.
4. Once an institution has made improvements suggested under the outcome of an interim accreditation, it can apply for a full accreditation by paying half the fee ($250) fee.
5. Should the institution fail to make the score of full accreditations (76% and above) the institution will be given an opportunity to pay half of the fee ($250) for every resubmission until it qualifies for full accreditation.
