Become an accredited entity

The accreditation process

Accreditation application rounds are conducted by Unitywater to establish and then maintain a pool of Accredited Entities and Registered Certifiers who provide certification services to the development industry.

If successful, your initial registration will be for a period of 2 years. Renewals will be subject to satisfactory performance.

Applications are currently closed

Unitywater has decided to defer the next intake of Accreditation applicants until 2020.

This means that we are not offering training to Accredited Entities and Registered Certifiers in 2019.

This year, we are concentrating on developing the skills and knowledge of the existing group of Accredited Entities and Registered Certifiers.

This support will ensure that we provide the highest possible quality of service to the development industry.

For enquiries, please email the Accreditation Coordinator.
