Reviewing accreditation status together with the organization, category, scope, record information, and verification details provides a complete view of the published accreditation record.
Accreditation status is part of the formal record connecting an organization with an applicable IABCET accreditation pathway.
The status should be read together with the organization identified in the record, the applicable accreditation category, and the accreditation scope. These elements establish what the accreditation record relates to and provide the context for understanding the organization’s standing within the IABCET accreditation system.
An organization may conduct multiple educational, professional, training, or organizational activities. Accreditation status relates to the applicable scope represented within the accreditation record.
