- The Role of an Accreditation Body
SASLHA is both an Accredited Service Provider and an Accrediting Body for individuals and non-accredited service provider organisations who wish to have their activities accredited.
For your convenience, we have detailed pertinent information on the accreditation of activities and the application procedure for you to follow when submitting your activity to SASLHA to be accredited.
Among other responsibilities, the role of the accrediting body is to:
Review and accredit applications for the provision of level 1 or level 2 activities by non-accredited service providers or individuals according to the guidelines
Assign CEUs to the activity as per guidelines
Monitor service providers (i.e. the convenor of the activity) compliance with the guidelines in providing the CPD activity
Revise or revoke the points awarded if the provider fails to comply with the guidelines
Important Note: SASLHA's accreditation committee is directly responsible to HPCSA. Please note that the scope of this service is to allocate CEUs for time spent in CPD activities and in no way is it the same as awarding qualifications, certifying as to competence if skills are taught, licensing, etc.

Submit your request electronically at least three months before the activity, but no later than four weeks prior
