ACPE Accreditation Dates

Make your ACCREDITATION REVIEW happen at the RIGHT TIME

Here are some interesting facts that will help you hit the mark:

• Your accreditation review date never changes – your review in a particular year may be postponed by applying to the Accreditation Commission for a postponement, showing good cause and having your regional accreditation chair support your request; however, this does not change the date for your center's next review. Example: If you receive a postponement for your full review or your five year review from 2008 to 2009, your next reviews are still due five or ten years after the original date of 2008.

• If for any reason you believe your accreditation date as reflected in the list below is NOT CORRECT, please contact the Associate Director at ACPE (deryck@acpe.edu) to register your concern, or call Deryck Durston at the national office at 404-320-1472 to discuss further.

• Postponements for a center that is vacant – that is, has no ACPE CPE Supervisor on staff – will be awarded one at a time (the first one automatically, the second one by request) for a maximum of two years, and this without fee. Postponement requests for other reasons will be charged at the time of application. Paying the fee does not guarantee that your postponement request will be granted.

• Candidacy centers who request postponement for good cause are not charged a fee. They are in a pre-accreditation stage and are not treated like fully accredited centers in this regard. In the case of candidacy centers, the next review date is the one by which the center needs to request a postponement or request movement to accredited center status.

• A postponement is not necessary if the review is taking place late in the year and will carry over into the next year. The review date is the date the process of review begins.

• For other important aspects of requesting a postponement, please consult the Accreditation Manual 2010.
