IAHIP are delighted to announce our new revised Accreditation Criteria. The revised Accreditation Criteria is covered in Bye-Laws 16A, 16B and 16C as follows:
Bye-Law 16A – Accreditation Criteria for Graduates of IAHIP 'Recognised Training Courses'
Bye-Law 16B – First Time Re-Accreditation Criteria for Members Accredited through Bye-Law 16A
Bye-Law 16C – Accreditation Criteria for Graduates of courses that are not IAHIP 'Recognised Training Courses'
These can be viewed in full by clicking here.
These bye-laws came into effect on 6 August 2024 and have replaced Bye-Law 11. Bye-Law 11 is being phased out rather than being revoked immediately, which means applicants can still apply for accreditation under Bye-Law 11 until August 2025 if they prefer.
The list of IAHIP 'Recognised Training Courses' can be viewed here.
The Benefits for Graduates of Recognised Training Courses

have greater potential to gain employment and widen your opportunity to expand your client case load. |
Health Insurance companies widely accept IAHIP Accreditation status when processing a claim from your clients. This can encourage new clients to choose you. |
IAHIP Accreditation = Public Trust as it represents the mark of quality for high standards of training, and professional and ethical practice.
WHAT HAS CHANGED?IAHIP RECOGNISED TRAINING COURSESShorter pathway to accreditation - if you meet the criteria you can apply following successful completion of your recognised training course. Remote Hours – the criteria sets out the ratio of face-to-face/in person and remote hours. Accreditation Period – initially you will be accredited for two years. Student Associate – you must be registered as a Student Associate with IAHIP whilst you are enrolled on a recognised training course (this condition applies from January 2025). Re-accreditation – following accreditation through this pathway you have 2 years before you need to apply for re-accreditation and you will be required to complete CPD. NON IAHIP RECOGNISED TRAINING COURSESThis remains largely unchanged and the usual route for accreditation applies with amendments made to remote hours and CPD requirements if applying more than 2 years following successful completion of the training course: Remote hours – the criteria sets out the ratio of face-to-face/in person and remote hours. CPD requirement – if you are applying for accreditation two or more years following successful completion of your training course you must provide evidence of CPD. CPD requirements will depend on when you are applying and are outlined fully in Bye-Law 16C. The new bye-laws can be viewed in full here.
