understand that
accreditation is a choice,
and one which shouldn’t be
taken lightly. Accreditation
requires significant
resources to prepare and
maintain accreditation ”
- Services SETA
The SSETA Accreditation Process Explained
Step Two Desktop Evaluation
• The compliant application is evaluated by the Accreditation
Unit
• If the findings of the evaluation are unfavourable, you will
be sent an evaluation report and a deadline to address
areas of remediation (amend or develop documents
accordingly).
• If the desktop evaluation is favourable, a site visit is
scheduled.

Step Four Ratification
• Site visit report is quality assured & submitted
for ratification to the Accounting Authority.
• If awarded a Not Yet Recommended status, a
date will be given for remediation.
• If awarded Accreditation, the status is ratified
by the Accounting Authority
• The accreditation decision is submitted after
the report is ratified.
