MECA: Through & Through, a special comprehensive exhibition of student work prepared for MECA's ten -
year accreditation visit, is open to the public on Wednesday, March 23rd.
We are pleased to announce our first joint
IPC accreditation visit with the Council of International Schools (CIS).
During
the accreditation visit, the culinary arts program was commended for its «top quality» meals served as the «best luncheon ever experience at a site visit.»
Kauaʻi CC was also showcased by the accreditation commission at a July 2017 American Culinary Federation Education Foundation convention in Orlando, as an example for culinary schools in the nation to follow their work room of documents, supplementary documents and equipment created for
the accreditation visit.
The ACA Basic Standards Course is specifically designed to help prepare people who are NEW to the accreditation process for
their accreditation visits, and to serve as an introduction to the standards program for those interested in becoming accreditation visitors.
ACA is committed to providing resources to assist in
your accreditation visit planning and preparation including.
Three semesters before
the accreditation visit, the college must meet nine preconditions.
First, two to three years before
an accreditation visit, the college becomes a precandidate for NCATE accreditation.
Two months before
the accreditation visit, the college prepares and delivers an extensive report on how it meets NCATE's standards.
Once all preconditions are met, NCATE establishes formal candidacy for the college, and
the accreditation visit is usually conducted one to two years later.
Prepare for
an accreditation visit by outlining a process to organize, communicate, and collect the evidence needed to satisfy the requirements of your accrediting organization.
If a Joint Commission auditor, during
an accreditation visit, takes the position that medical assistants are forbidden from performing certain tasks because of language in the CAMH, I would suggest that you immediately request written documentation of the citation, with a reference to the CAMH provision that is being violated.
Most of the members in attendance were also present in February for Morgantown's American Society of Health ‑ System Pharmacists (ASHP)
accreditation visit.
