ACCREDITATION

Applications for Accreditation

All applications for Accreditation start by first downloading the relevant Engagement Letter and submitting it along with a deposit. The Engagement Letter and Standards for both Gap Year Providers and Gap Year Consultants can be found on the Standards web page. Successful passage through the Gap Year Association’s Accreditation process, is a prerequisite for certain Membership levels. Not all membership levels require a vetting process, however, and we encourage you to visit our membership web page to learn more.
