The process of seeking accreditation requires the preparation of comprehensive documentation to demonstrate that the co-operative education programs at your institution meet national standards. Once a co-operative education program has successfully passed the accreditation process, the accredited status is valid for six (6) years.

If your program has never been accredited, or if you are seeking re-accreditation, please apply using the new and simplified CAFCE Accreditation Application (PDF Acrobat Reader).

We encourage you to seek assistance from a member of the Accreditation Council either when considering applying or when completing the application.

Application Submission

Once the application is completed, it must be printed and signed, with necessary documents appended. Completed applications, along with a cheque for CDN$100, should be sent to:
