You can apply for accreditation online, by email or by post.

Online accreditation

The RCN Accreditation Unit is pleased to be piloting online applications for accreditation, providing a quicker and smoother application process. 

The new system will offer drop-down menus and explanatory notes which will be more supportive to users enabling them to complete applications at their convenience.  

Once applications are complete applicants can click the submit button and the application will immediately be received by the Accreditation Unit.

We would welcome your feedback in order to improve and establish a first class service for our users.

How to register:

  2. A popup window will open asking you to fill in various details, including creating a username. It is not compulsory to fill in your email address, but this will be very helpful should you forget your password or username in the future. When creating a password, try to avoid obvious combinations or words. Pick something that you are able to remember that no one else will be able to guess. When you have filled in the form, click on [Save].
  3. The popup window will close and you will be back on the login page. Enter your username in the 'Username' box and enter your password in the Password box. Then click on [Login]. You will be taken to the 'Welcome page'.  For further help on what to do, please see the section on the login Page called ‘Help’. There are three useful 'Quick Start Guides' on the Help page. You can download or print these to help you as you use the site.
