Accreditation Readiness Workshop
Two half-days of structured, general instruction on the published CHSPS framework, evidence mapping and internal gap-analysis methods, using standardized worked examples and reusable planning templates.
Impartiality firewall. This is general education, not applicant-specific consulting. Exercises use standardized teaching materials. CHSPS education staff do not pre-score, rewrite or pre-approve a participant's accreditation evidence, and participation provides no advantage in any accreditation decision.
About this workshop
Two half-days of structured instruction in the published CHSPS CORE-100 and CERT-200 standards, Edition 2026.1 — what each clause asks for, what categories of evidence address it, and a general gap-analysis method your team applies internally afterward. All instruction uses standardized worked examples; the same content is delivered to every cohort.
The impartiality line, plainly: CHSPS educators teach the published requirements. They do not review, score or advise on any specific organization’s policies, evidence or application — before, during or after the workshop. Your gap analysis is yours alone, is never submitted to CHSPS, and has no bearing on any review.
What you will learn
- What each Core and CERT clause requires — and the difference between conformity and paperwork
- A structured gap-analysis method you can run internally, using the free Self-Assessment Workbook
- The categories of evidence the published standards name for governance, assessment quality, security and renewal
- How to sequence internal work into a realistic readiness plan before applying
Includes
- Evidence-mapping workbook (the Core and program standards)
- Self-assessment planning template — for internal use; never submitted to or scored by CHSPS
- Annotated standardized worked examples for key clause families
- General Q&A on the published standards (no application-specific advice)
- Recording access for 90 days
