To comply with anti-fraud and “fit-and-proper-person” checks in the Scheme Operating Requirements (SORs) we must verify each applicant’s legal identity. The documents you provide will be used solely for accreditation purposes and stored in line with UK GDPR.

Previous Accreditation

We need a recent, high-resolution passport-style photograph so that we can add you to the public register of accredited assessors and issue a photo ID card. The image must clearly show your face with no filters, headwear (unless religious), or dark glasses.

Qualifications

Kaizen Certification Ltd requires all applicants to provide evidence of their relevant qualifications...

Insurance

Every practising assessor must hold valid Professional Indemnity and Public Liability cover at or above the minimum limits set out in Appendix 1.3 of the SORs. These policies safeguard clients, scheme stakeholders and you in the event of a claim.

CPD (Continuous Professional Development)

Under Appendix 4.2 you are required to log at least 10 hours of recognised CPD per membership year (plus 5 hours for each additional strand). Upload a single PDF that lists courses, dates, providers and verified hours so we can confirm your ongoing competence.

We require a brief statement outlining your financial stability. This could include, but is not limited to, references to steady employment, business operations, or other indicators of financial solvency.
