Accreditation evidence
Produced as you go, not assembled the month before.
Qualeron makes accreditation-readiness evidence a first-class operational record, linked to the decisions and studies that produced it. This page shows where each piece lives.
01 The position
Software that keeps the record, not a consultant who reconstructs it
Accreditation against NCCA standards or ISO/IEC 17024 turns, in practice, on whether a body can produce records of decisions it made years ago: how the passing standard was set, whether the items work, who decided a contested result and on what basis, whether renewal requirements are actually verified. Bodies fail on documentation far more often than on practice.
A platform that treats those records as a reporting afterthought leaves a body reconstructing them under deadline, from email. Qualeron makes accreditation-readiness evidence a first-class operational record, linked to the decisions and studies that produced it, because the same records are what makes a decision defensible on the day it is made.
02 What a submission asks for
And where it already lives
- How the cut score was setThe standard-setting study: method, date, facilitator, panel, the minimally-competent-candidate definition, the rounds, the recommendation and the rationale — with the superseded studies still there.Psychometrics →
- That the examination measures somethingDifficulty, point-biserial and upper–lower discrimination, and distractor analysis per item, per sitting; reliability, decision consistency and fairness review, each approved by a second person; the technical report with its frozen evidence manifest.Exam development →
- That eligibility is applied consistentlyModelled requirements, each application storing the rules as they stood that day, structured answers, evidence per requirement, and a reviewer decision with a reason.The platform →
- That candidates have due processA concern raised in words, a window to answer, a decision with a reason, and an appeal heard by somebody who took no part. Item challenges with an outcome that propagates to every affected score.Results and due process →
- That the examination was delivered as designedA frozen paper per sitting, reconstructable from its form; check-in and incidents at test centers with the reviewer kept apart from the reporter; accommodations applied on the record.Exam integrity →
- That recertification is realA versioned renewal policy, CE claims against approved providers, provider-reported completions, and a percentage of renewals audited against evidence.Credentials →
03 Who did what
Every governed act, with the actor named
- A result released, a credential revoked, a fee waived, a cut score adopted, a candidate seated past a full window
- Written to an event record as it happens, with who and why
- Read first by any review
Every governed act — a result released, a credential revoked, a fee waived, a cut score adopted, an analysis approved, a candidate seated past a full window, an accommodation decided, an access right granted — is written to an event record with the actor named and the reason recorded, as it happens. The audit history is what a review reads first, and it is kept by default rather than assembled on request.
04 What this is not
A claim we are not making
Qualeron is not an accrediting body, does not grant accreditation, and cannot promise an outcome. Accreditation is a judgment made about your program by NCCA, ANAB or another body, on evidence you submit and defend.
What we will say is narrower and checkable: the records those bodies ask for are kept here, by default, in a form you can export, and you will not be reconstructing them from email the month before you submit. If you are preparing a submission now, say so on the quote form and we will walk the standards against what the platform actually holds.
