In addition to our accreditations, the ÂìÒϵ¼º½is also one of three organisations that can issue and renew Assessment Practising Certificates (APC). The criteria for submitting and passing an APC is determined and overseen by The SpLD Assessment Standards Committee (SASC), it is not a ÂìÒϵ¼º½accreditation. However, the ÂìÒϵ¼º½are proud to work alongside SASC to ensure that our members can apply for and renew an APC via our organisation.
