Before Starting the Application
We strongly encourage users to submit an Request for Quote or speak to an ANAB staff member prior to submitting the web-based application. Here are some instructions to know before starting the application process.
- First step – you will be asked to create an account so you can return at will.
- This is not the same account you may have used when submitting a request for a quote; although, you can use the same email address.
- You can always return to complete applications and access submitted applications.
- Include all of the addresses where work is done that you want accredited.
- Add all key contacts (e.g., top leadership, assessment contacts, finance), including the person who starts the application, if appropriate.
- While not needed immediately, at least one of the contacts needs to be designated as the authorized contact (i.e., the person who can enter into a legally binding agreement with ANAB*).
- *If you are a government entity, the authorized contact and the person who can enter into a legally binding agreement with ANAB may be different.
- Only the person who has been selected as the authorized contact can submit the application.
- A list of accreditation programs will be displayed alphabetically.
- Select the drop-down icon to view the programs.
- Select all the programs for which you wish to apply.
- This symbol (^) next to an entry indicates there are additional programs available.
- Click on the (^) symbol to expand the list.
- If an additional program is selected, the main program will also be selected by default.
- After choosing all of the requested programs, go to the bottom of the page to continue.
- A grid view of the locations and accreditation programs will appear.
- Click the box(es) to select which accreditation programs are to be accredited for each location.
- Be sure to select the main accreditation program if you’re adding an additional program.
- To add an additional location, click the blue plus sign (+) in the lower left corner of the screen.
