Academic accreditation submission forms

Academic accreditation submission forms

From this page you are able to view a sample of each of the forms that you will need to complete as part of your submission.

All the Guidance and Policy documents are available to help you complete the forms.

Please note that you must have a visit booked before you begin to complete the submission forms. To book a visit you must complete the visit booking form and send it to the accreditation department. Once you have booked your visit we will send editable versions of the submission forms.

The accreditation submission is broken down into three parts.

1. Form A part one

Form A part one should be submitted to the IET a minimum of 12 weeks before an accreditation visit.

This form requires general contact information, programmes specifications for all programmes that you would like to put forward for accreditation and also the external examiner reports for all programmes. If you represent a department which has been previously accredited by the IET, you will also need to provide a summary on the progress made against your action plan.

Guidance for Form A part 1 is available in the Guidance and Policy section.

 

2. Form A part two

Form A part two is due to be submitted to the IET six weeks before an accreditation visit.

This form requires information on all the accreditation criteria, namely:

• Aims and objectives;
• Assessment regulations and progression conditions;
• The structure of the programme, content and industrial input;
• Projects and coursework;
• Staffing;
• Resources and facilities;
