Does utilizing a consultant guarantee that an applicant will achieve NABP accreditation?
No. Any applicant for accreditation may use any consulting firm to assist in their accreditation process, but there is no guarantee that use of any accreditation consultant will lead to successful accreditation through NABP or another accrediting body. If an applicant wishes to have their consultant work with NABP on aspects of their accreditation application, the applicant must inform NABP in writing that they wish to have their consultant participate in the accreditation process. Finally, even if a consultant is assisting an applicant with their accreditation process, all accreditation applicants must be able to demonstrate their knowledge of their respective operations and processes.
