4.1. Submission process
Applicants can apply for certification at any point throughout the year using the online application process that can be accessed via the PAAT website.
The panel will convene three times per year to assess submissions. PAAT will acknowledge receipt of the submission and endeavour to provide the applicant with an outcome within 16 to 20 weeks of submission. All applicants will receive written feedback, identifying areas of good practice and any areas for development.
If you have any queries about the application process, please email: membership@pa-at.org.
4.2. Appeals procedure
If you have any concerns about the application process, please email: membership@pa-at.org detailing your specific concerns. Please note that any appeal would need to be related to the review process not being adhered to rather than the outcome. All appeals will be managed by the Chair of PAAT Directors to reduce any conflict of interest and to ensure that the appeal decision is fair. The appeal decision will be final. The timeframe for dealing with complaints will normally be 8 weeks.
