The eDiscovery Certification Council, (eDCC) accreditation process is a key feature of its quality assurance. The purpose of accreditation is to enable training partners to demonstrate they can deliver quality training and support for all candidates who sit the eDCC’s exams.

This is a formal and visible process that reassures clients and customers that key suppliers provide a high quality service linked to the eDCC’s qualifications.

Benefits of Accreditation:

• membership of a network of high quality, selected partners offering face-to-face training for the eDCC’s globally recognised qualifications
• licence to use eDCC and eDCC Accredited Training Partner logos on marketing and promotional materials
• listing on eDCC’s website
• tutor support materials, including access to eDCC’s online ATP Portal.
• free exam sitting for tutors
• ongoing contribution to eDCC qualifications’ development

Tutor support

The eDCC offers a support service to tutors preparing candidates for its exams. This includes provision of learning manuals, training materials and practice exam questions.

The eDCC can also provide, for an additional fee, tuition (usually two-three days), using freelance trainers associated with the Council, to assist the training partner in training its own tutors to deliver courses of high quality and consistency.

Requirements

Before becoming an accredited training partner(ATP), potential training partners must satisfy the eDCC’s requirements and show the capability, expertise and facilities to provide training and support. All tutors must sit at least one of the examinations for which they intend to become accredited.

One representative of the partner must apply for membership of the eDCC during the first year of accreditation.

An annual review is undertaken to ensure that the most up-to-date activities of the partner are recorded including changes to key contacts, new subjects taught, and that the partner continues to meet the standards of high quality training required.
