ATESL Accreditation
ATESL offers an accreditation service for its members. A member who is approved for accreditation receives a membership card with an accreditation number that signifies that his or her professional training and experience have been recognized and acknowledged by our professional body.
- A person must be a current member of ATESL to apply for and to maintain accreditation status. If you are not currently a member, please complete the membership form before requesting accreditation. You may submit both together.
- The fee for applying for accreditation is $50 plus GST ($2.50).
- The Accreditation Committee meets twice a year. The deadlines for application are the first of May and the first of December. Decisions are usually made within eight weeks of the deadlines.
- There are three options for applying for accreditation: A, D, and Interim.
- The applicant must fill out the accreditation form, submit the required documentation concerning training and experience, and the accreditation application fee.
