Your pathway to accreditation

AIBS accredits courses that meet the National Accreditation Scheme and support entry into the profession at Level 1, 2 and 3. The programs listed below meet the education requirements for AIBS Accreditation. Graduates can apply for accreditation once they also meet the experience criteria.

 

Understanding course accreditation

Accredited programs include both full and provisional accreditations. Provisional status applies when a new course has not yet produced graduates or may be undergoing review. Students already enrolled in a course that later changes accreditation status remain eligible for AIBS Accreditation if they complete their studies within a reasonable timeframe. For details on experience requirements and next steps, you can contact AIBS.
