Notification of change form for APC accredited programs

Education providers may wish to make a change to their accredited program.

However, they must notify us and seek approval before making a change. Providers cannot implement a change until our Accreditation Committee approves it.

Changes to a program can include:

• award title
• curriculum
• program length
• staff profile
• teaching and assessment methods
• human and financial resources

We will decide if the change is 'minor' or 'material'. A 'material' change will incur a fee.
