Processes
Submission process
The recommended time for submission of an application is at least 14 weeks from the planned start date of the event. The latest date for receipt of a fully completed application form, supporting documents and confirmed payment of the EACCME® fee is 12 weeks before the planned start date of the event.
For submission between 12 and 10 weeks before the planned start date of the event, a late fee will be applied. To learn more about EACCME® fees, please see Chapter XIV. EACCME® fees.
The whole evaluation process should take
no
more than 7 weeks
from the moment the applicant has been informed by the
EACCME® office that the application is complete and payment of the
accreditation fee has been received. The application will be then sent out for
review.
Every time there is a delay in the process for which the applicant is responsible (i.e. the reviewer(s) have questions for the applicants for which an answer is pending…), the clock stops and the delay is not included in the above 7 weeks’ schedule.
