Accreditation policy and guidance

To help maintain the academic standards of UK engineering education, the IET has produced guidance on a majority of the accreditation criteria. Each document relates to a section of the submission forms. Each guidance document explains why we ask for the information, suggests ways of how the information should be presented and also the types of questions the visiting panel will be looking to answer. Items that are applied as policy and are therefore conditions of accreditation are stated accordingly.
