Looking to get your courses accredited and insured by AIT?

 

Training Course Accreditation

AIT Accreditation is a simple, low cost and extremely efficient way to step out of the crowd and show your potential students that you are approved, endorsed and eligible to offer, on completion of your courses, AIT membership and insurance packages to them.

AIT Accreditation isn’t just a logo, or a membership, it allows you to instil confidence and provide guidance to your potential students that they can get insurance with AIT. Once insured your students can continue practicing on the public with the new skills they have learnt.

If you are running private courses in either beauty or holistic treatments that are not recognised by an education board, we must have received a completed and verified accreditation application to ensure a smooth and simple process for your students and our future members. Without completing the AIT Accreditation process we cannot deem your courses suitable to a level that we can insure for, as we have not reviewed your course manuals, materials, and the documentation we require to determine this.

Having your courses AIT Accredited is crucial in giving your courses the seal of approval and recognition they deserve. A successful application would allow you access to the use of our accreditation logo, insurance for your students, as well as loads of membership benefits to becoming an AIT Accredited member.

One Off Fee*

AIT is the only membership provider to offer a one-off fee – no hidden charges, no annual renewal costs and no price per certificate issued to students.

The pricing structure is for the initial application. Once the initial accreditation application has passed, any additional courses submitted are charged at €50 per course.

When accrediting your course, qualifications or post graduate support training with AIT you will enter into a relationship with Ireland and the UK's largest Beauty Membership and Insurance provider who currently represent:

  • 18,000 Business Owners, Therapists, Nail Technicians, Holistic Practitioners, Hair Stylists, Barbers and Students.
  • 1,400 brands, training providers and suppliers
  • 146,000 potential clients via website views and page counts per month

We are only able to insure members to practise treatments that they have been taught under courses that are offered under the NVQ, SVQ, or any National / International qualification or courses that have passed our accreditation process.
