What does accreditation entail?
Policies and procedures for accreditation of non-U.S. sites parallel those developed for the U.S., with a consideration for cultural differences in the international setting. Briefly, to be accredited by CEA, a program must

2. Submit an application form 
3. Host a preliminary visit (only if required based on review of submitted materials) 
4. Attend a self-study workshop 
5. Develop and submit a plan for how it will conduct its self-study 
6. Submit a comprehensive self-study that addresses CEA's 52 standards 
7. Have a site visit by a team of peer reviewers who verify the contents of the self-study 
8. Be reviewed by the 13 commissioners who make the final accreditation decision.
