JACIE Certification Process

Before Applying

Start doing a self-assessment. The Inspection Checklist is fundamental to the Certification process. Download it and perform a self-audit against the standards to determine which areas of your centre require attention.

The definitive list will be submitted later, along with your pre-audit documents. This will be requested by the JACIE office a month after the approval of your application.

If you are a first time applicant the checklist will be requested when you submit the application form. You can also download the Inspection Guide for an overview of the entire process.

Identify Resources

Determine the National Representative for your country. Your National Representative will be able to assist you with any specific national issues. Determine if there are any JACIE Inspectors in your country, as they may be willing to assist you with a mock inspection. If you do approach an inspector and they conduct a mock inspection, you must inform the JACIE Office. This inspector will not be considered for participation in the actual inspection.
