Credentials and Professional Recognition

ILDC may offer professional credentials, designations, recognition or related services. Submission of an application does not guarantee approval, certification, accreditation or professional recognition.

Where ILDC provides accreditation or accreditation-related services, submission of an application does not constitute accreditation or imply that accreditation will be granted. Accreditation decisions are made in accordance with ILDC's applicable standards, requirements, review processes and policies.

Organisations seeking accreditation are responsible for ensuring that all information and supporting documentation submitted to ILDC is accurate and complete. Accredited organisations may be required to maintain ongoing compliance with applicable ILDC standards and requirements.
