How to get NHSS17/17B certification
It's a simple 4-step process to achieve your NHSS17/17B certification and start winning new business.
- Preparation
Your Assessor will be in touch to help you get everything in place so that you're ready for your first assessment.
- Stage 1 assessment
There’s no pressure for the first assessment; many are surprised what they already have in place. Following the assessment, you will receive a report (often referred to as a ‘gap analysis’) which highlights the steps you need to take to achieve your certification.
- Stage 2 assessment
When you’re ready, our Assessor will conduct a second assessment and will share their findings on the day. Their report will be sent to our Compliance Department for sign-off (a key part of the UKAS-accredited requirements) and your certification will be issued shortly thereafter.
- Annual assessment
The excellent reputation of NHSS17/17B is driven by its requirement for ongoing improvement, so we'll keep in touch and arrange annual assessments to keep your certification up-to-date.
