  1. Describe what you operate. The program, credential, education offering or system — not just your sector.
  2. CHSPS confirms pathway and scope in writing. The free eligibility review records exactly what would be reviewed and what is excluded.
  3. Only an independent decision creates accreditation. Listing here, inquiry, payment or evidence submission does not.
