Your Assessment Manager will guide you through the process and agree timescales for key milestones.
A pre-assessment is an informal visit to determine how ready you are for accreditation. A pre-assessment visit is optional, but it can be a valuable step in the process to reduce delays in gaining accreditation.
NACS recommends a pre-assessment visit by the NACS Assessment Manager (and possibly a technical assessor).
This visit addresses the scope of accreditation requested and will normally involve between 1 and 4 man-days work. It is designed to confirm your organisation’s readiness for full assessment.
The Assessment Manager will provide you with a quotation for the work involved and a report on the findings of the pre-assessment following the visit.
