Documentation review and visit = £1000* plus expenses*
Conditional Review
Expenses* (i.e . when a university is deemed by an Accreditation Panel not to have met all requirements for Accreditation the Panel is at liberty to set conditions and insist on another visit after a set period of time to ensure that all conditions have been met).
Partnered Institutes
If a host educational establishment offers its CIAT Accredited Architectural Technology Honours degree level programme through another partnered institute and there is no variation in programme structure and content then only expenses* must be reimbursed to CIAT. If the programme varies in any way, a full submission must be made and normal fees apply. In both instances a visit must take place at Accreditation stage and Accreditation Review stage as standard.
