NCA will inform you of the decision

After the visit, your reviewers will provide NCA with their scoring and recommendations. These will then be voted upon by our Board of Directors during one of their regularly scheduled meetings in January, June, or October. You will be notified of their decision via email the week after the meeting.

Satellite CACs

If your CAC has a satellite location, the main center location must be accredited first. After that, the accreditation for the satellite location is linked with the main center’s reaccreditation schedule and reviewed under the main center’s application. For more information, see satellite CAC requirements.

How to apply for reaccreditation

NCA will reach out to you

Accredited CACs must be reaccredited every five years. NCA will reach out to you the year prior to the year of your reaccreditation with a reminder and instructions on how to begin scheduling your site visit. As an example, if your CAC is up for reaccreditation in 2025, NCA will contact you in January 2024 to begin the scheduling process.

Application and site visit deadlines

Once we contact you about reaccreditation, begin reviewing the application to ensure you will be ready before the application due date. The date of your site visit determines your application deadline; your application must be submitted six months prior to the site visit. For example, if your visit is set for March 30, 2025, your application will be due September 30, 2024. NCA will send you an email confirming your application due date and site visit date. We send reminders in January and two months prior to the due date of your application.
