- Completion of the Online Application: Second, facilities utilize IAC Online Accreditation to complete and submit their application. Completion of the application requires detailed information on all aspects of facility operation as well as the submission of actual case studies for review. To apply for IAC accreditation, applicant facilities need to access their existing or create a new IAC Online Accreditation account.
Accreditation Fees
