The accreditation process typically involves several steps:
1. Self-Study Report: The educational institution conducts a self-study and compiles a report detailing how the program meets NAACLS standards. 2. Site Visit: NAACLS conducts a site visit to the institution to verify the information in the self-study report and assess the program firsthand. 3. Review and Decision: After the site visit, NAACLS reviews the findings and decides whether to grant accreditation. This decision is based on whether the program meets all required standards.
