Centre Accreditation is a quality assurance process, under which required parameters of TCs are evaluated. It is of key importance to ensure that the trainees are provided quality training, thereby creating the requirement to have a well-defined validation process of the TCs, creating the need of Centre Accreditation. Accreditation focuses on learning and self-development, and encourages the TC to pursue continual excellence.

The process involves a combined mechanism of self-evaluation by the TCs and an external evaluation by a Third Party Inspection Agency, hereafter referred to as Inspection Agency, to determine if the prescribed qualitative standards are met by the TC.
