Accredited Training Sites

ACSEP ACCREDITED TRAINING SITES 

ACSEP accredits health settings across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand to provide training to ACSEP registrars. To train an ACSEP registrar, a site must undergo accreditation by the College. This process ensures that all training sites meet the standards required.

The majority of ACSEP training is undertaken in private, Sport and Exercise Medicine practices, however hospitals or other settings may also be accredited, provided these sites meet the eligibility criteria. 

ACCREDITATION STANDARDS & PROCEDURES

Please refer to the ACSEP Accreditation Standards for Training Sites and Training Site Accreditation Procedures below for full details of the accreditation requirements and processes.

ACCREDITATION PROCESS OVERVIEW AND TIMEFRAMES

Below is a high-level summary of the the accreditation process and indicative timeframes. Please refer to the Training Site Accreditation Procedures for further detail. 

Accreditation Step

Description and Estimated Timeframe

Application

The site submits the application form and supporting evidence to the accreditation team. ACSEP will review the application and acknowledge receipt within five business days. 

We recommend that sites apply for accreditation at least six months before they plan to commence training an ACSEP registrar. 

Interviews

The site will be allocated an accreditor and interviews with key personnel will be scheduled. This may include interviews with:

  • Clinical Training Supervisor
  • Practice Manager or Administrator
  • ACSEP Registrar (reaccreditation only)

Depending on the availability of the accreditor and site personnel, this step may take 6-8 weeks from the date of application. 

Report & Recommendation

Following interviews and a thorough review of the application and supporting evidence, the accreditor will recommend an outcome and a report will be drafted.

New training sites will receive an outcome of:

  • Provisionally accredited 
  • Not accredited (refused)

Sites undergoing reaccreditation will receive an outcome of:

  • Accredited
  • Conditionally accredited
  • Not accredited (revoked)

The site will have an opportunity to review the draft report and outcome prior to finalisation. 

This process will generally take 2-3 weeks following completion of the interviews. 

Outcome

The draft accreditation report and recommendation will be reviewed by the ACSEP Workforce and Accreditation Committee. Following approval, the training site will be notified and receive a copy of the final report. 

This process will generally take 2-3 weeks following completion of the draft report. 

On-going Monitoring

All ACSEP Accredited Training Sites are subject to on-going monitoring to ensure that they deliver safe, high-quality learning experiences for ACSEP registrars.

All training sites undergo reaccreditation at least once every five years.
