Show your professionalism and ethical standards. Downloadable registration documents are found below; print off, complete and then submit to the mailing address included on the form.

SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION:

• Each applicant must include proof of activity or existence, including a valid certification, a business license or the first page of the articles of incorporation, for example.
• Each applicant must include a written description, proof or evidence as to how the applicant will uphold each standard within his, her or its domain. This can be done by providing one's policies or procedures manual, business plan or explanation of how business is conducted on a day-to-day basis. Be brief and clear in your report submission, and state only what is necessary to demonstrate standard adherence. A summary should be included as to how the program specifically supports the standards' essential elements. Reports are to be submitted annually, with any changes to policies or procedures distinguished in a different color or "highlighted" for faster and comparative review by the FSC.
• Applicants must be aware of any changes to FSC standards and the latest web site uploads, as "flagged" on this site in the News section.
• Educators must include relevant learning materials, exams and testing procedures, assessment instruments (i.e., how it is determined that practitioners have sufficient knowledge, understanding, and skills), and any resumes or background information of teaching and assessing personnel to demonstrate staff competency.
• Practitioners must be active for at least six months before applying; facilities and educators must have operated for at least one year before applying.

NOTE: An FSC review board member may contact an applicant in order to obtain further information or clarification on a submission. This is not to be interpreted as notification about the status of an application. Notification will be provided by the FSC by way of written letter (and a certificate of accreditation issued to facilities and educators).
