Applying for Accreditation

PDCA Accreditation requires secure submittal of a company’s business information – financial data, safety management and training, relevant insurance policies, and licensing (where applicable) – as well as completion of both prerequisite and elective Contractor College courses.

Companies will be given a 24 month period to complete the requirements for Accreditation, starting on the date of enrollment to the program. Companies that fail to complete the requirements within this time frame must start the process over if they wish to pursue Accreditation. This includes submission of a new application and payment of the associated fee, as well as all courses and business documentation.
