ALL new OTHM centres will be first visited by OTHM or a representative of OTHM ( eg: The British Council) prior to listing. A report is provided to the OTHM Quality and Centre Accreditation and Audit Committee, followed by Full Board approval.
Some new centres who are still in process of completing documentation or refurbishment of premises will be ‘Conditionally Listed’- with a three month grace period followed by a further visit from OTHM.
OTHM would have visited the centre, but may require additional documentation or additional improvements to facilities or administration processes- before a full listing is granted. OTHM will re-visit a centre after three months to confirm the additional requirements are met.
An OTHM listed centre is provisionally listed for three (03) years with a review after the first twelve (12) months.
