Accreditation

Established in 2003, the PBA’s Accreditation Programme is the internationally recognised vocational qualification for those whose professional focus is on building more effective, impactful and transformative partnering approaches in a systematic, principled and ethical way.
Accreditation is for experienced practitioners, not beginners, but there are now a range of possible entry points leading to enrolment. The programme is personalised to meet each individual‘s priorities and needs so s/he is enabled to derive maximum value from the experience.
Achieving Accreditation involves a 4-month period of mentored practice with a highly experienced partnership broker, followed by a submission of a written, video or audio final project that will be formally assessed to ensure the highest standards are maintained.
