Simple Accreditation Process

At UKGA (United Kingdom Global Accreditation), we understand the importance of a streamlined and straightforward accreditation process. We have designed our accreditation process to be simple, efficient, and transparent, ensuring a seamless experience for organizations seeking certification.

Initial Contact: The accreditation process begins with organizations reaching out to us expressing their interest in obtaining certification. Our knowledgeable and friendly team is readily available to provide guidance, answer queries, and explain the process in detail.

Application Submission: Organizations are required to submit an application form along with the necessary documentation, such as quality manuals, procedures, and other relevant information. This step allows us to assess the organization's readiness for accreditation.

Document Review: Our team conducts a thorough review of the submitted documents to evaluate their compliance with the applicable standards and requirements. We ensure that all necessary information is provided and any potential gaps or areas for improvement are identified.

On-Site Assessment: A qualified auditor or assessment team is assigned to conduct an on-site assessment of the organization's operations, processes, and systems. The assessment is carried out based on predetermined criteria and industry best practices.

Audit and Evaluation: The on-site assessment includes interviews, observations, and document verification to validate the organization's adherence to the prescribed standards. The auditor evaluates the effectiveness and efficiency of the organization's quality management systems and identifies areas for improvement.

Compliance Assessment: The assessment findings are shared with the organization, highlighting any non-compliance issues and areas that require corrective actions. The organization is given an opportunity to address these issues and provide evidence of compliance.

Accreditation Decision: Based on the assessment findings and the organization's compliance with the standards, a decision is made regarding accreditation. If the organization meets the necessary criteria, they are granted the accreditation, and a certification is issued.

Ongoing Monitoring: Once accredited, organizations are subject to regular monitoring and surveillance audits to ensure their continued adherence to the standards. These assessments help maintain the credibility and validity of the accreditation.

Continuous Improvement: At UKGA, we encourage organizations to embrace a culture of continuous improvement. We provide guidance and support to help accredited organizations enhance their processes, systems, and overall performance.

Renewal and Recertification: Accreditation is typically valid for a defined period. Organizations are required to undergo renewal and recertification processes to maintain their accreditation status. This ensures that they continue to meet the evolving standards and requirements.

Our simple accreditation process aims to provide organizations with a clear roadmap towards certification while minimizing complexity and unnecessary bureaucracy. We are committed to guiding organizations through every step of the process, ensuring transparency, fairness, and reliability in our assessments.

At UKGA, we believe that simplicity in the accreditation process allows organizations to focus on what matters most – their operations, quality management systems, and commitment to excellence. Through our streamlined approach, we strive to make accreditation attainable, efficient, and beneficial for organizations seeking to enhance their reputation and credibility in the market.
