If you want to apply for accreditation, you need to follow these rules. You must say which designation regulations you want accreditation for. You also need to tell them what classes of accreditation you’re asking for. Make sure to include your New Zealand Business Number. The regulations might ask for more information, so you need to provide that too. There might be a fee you have to pay when you apply. You should check the regulations to see how much it is. Finally, you need to make your application in the way the regulations say. Remember to follow all these steps to make sure your application is done correctly.
