As an assessor, what should I expect to see in the Academy accreditation files?

The FLETA Standards and Procedures (2010 Edition) states:

Supporting evidence must exist to indicate the academy is in compliance with each standard. During the Academy assessment, supporting evidence must come from 50% of the Academy’s other programs (up to a maximum of five other programs) not including the basic training or instructor development training program(s) already accredited.

Assessors are trained that the agency will determine what evidence to use to support each standard. The evidence will be a sampling of the academy’s programs that the agency designates for Academy accreditation. It does not mean the agency must have evidence in each file for each program used to demonstrate compliance.

Assessors should not require or expect the agency to provide evidence for each of the designated programs in each file. This does not mean that an assessor may not ask for additional evidence from the designated programs, if it is necessary to demonstrate compliance with the standard. As with all assessments, the purpose of supporting evidence is to demonstrate that the agency is following its own processes.
