Stage 1

Application and Review

Submission of the application and review of documentation.

If the information provided is acceptable, the process then moves to Stage 2.

If it is not, the school will be advised either:
1) To address and rectify any perceived shortcomings to then move forward. This may include the development of an Action Plan with clear objectives.
2) It is unlikely that the BSJU would accredit until the school has undertaken further development.

Stage 2

Initial Inspection

The inspection will usually be a one day visit.
The inspector(s) will look at legislative, regulatory, and operational compliance including: coaching, safeguarding, first aid, premises management, student support, and teaching resources, for advertised or planned training delivery.

After the visit, the Accreditation Committee will:
1) Award Interim Accreditation for up to one year.
2) Issue required steps to take before progressing. This may include updating the Action Plan.

Stage 3

Full Inspection

All areas of operation are covered throughout the process, but Stage 3 places particular emphasis on knowledge, skills, and assessment matters, including: learning and teaching, resources and quality management, student welfare, and reporting to official bodies.

The Accreditation Committee will award Accreditation once:
1) Any issues noted by the Inspectors (from the Stage 2 visit) have been resolved.
2) Objectives set out in the Action Plan have been achieved.
