Welcome to the Accreditors' Training Website.  The information in this website was prepared through the collaborative effort of 15 accrediting agencies to give you an overview of the steps involved in accrediting academic programs at colleges, schools and universities. It will provide you with information and activities to help you learn what you need to participate on a site team or even prepare you for an accreditation visit at your institution.

The content is presented in a format that broadly applies to many accrediting agencies, so we encourage you to contact your own regional or specialized accreditation agency for details on its specific procedures after you have reviewed this site. You can link to the websites of the agencies collaborating on this project by clicking the Collaborating Agencies link on the menu.
