Accreditation Manager Starter Kit

Whether you're brand new to the role or just need a refresher, this quick-start kit provides the foundational tools every Accreditation Manager should have on hand. Keep it simple, stay consistent, and grow your confidence.

Here's what to include in your starter kit:

• A printed or bookmarked copy of your accrediting body’s current standards manual
• A system for tracking recurring compliance tasks and report deadlines (calendar, spreadsheet, etc.)
• A cheat sheet of file-building best practices: Think Like an Assessor
• A digital folder or PowerDMS workspace for storing proofs of compliance.
• A copy of your agency’s most recent assessment report
• A running list of questions or uncertainties to review with Program Managers, mentors or during mock assessments
