The method used is communicative evaluation where both parties can openly discuss about the strengths and weaknesses of the course, and often the institutions ask for advice from the experts as in a form of unofficial consultation. There is some variation as to the structure of the visit but it always ends with an informal wrap-up, a dialogue where both parties are able to express their impressions, concerns etc. The institution is also informed about the next steps and timetable of the decision making process. The evaluators make a proposal for acceptance or rejection to the Accreditation Board. The Board has meetings approximately every seven weeks to ensure that the institutions of higher education receive the decision within four months after the delivery of the application to the Evaluation Council.
Registration is valid for four years.
