Mock Surveys
Preliminary assessments, utilizing mock surveys employing tracer methodology, will be performed prior to the actual survey to gauge the state of readiness.

The surveys will be conducted by QAI experts with decades of international experience in accreditation surveys.
Continous Compliance Program
QAI experts, with experience working with numerous accredited organizations worldwide, have identified the primary reasons for lapses in compliance following surveys. To address this issue, the Continuous Compliance Program (CCP) will be implemented within organizations to safeguard the gains made through the accreditation process. QAI experts will collaborate with organizational leadership to establish and maintain the program.
