Unit Information
Re-accreditation Application for an AGES Accredited Training Site
This application form is intended to document your unit’s ongoing capability to train Advanced Gynaecological Endoscopic and/or Laparoscopic surgeons, aligned with the Australasian Gynaecological Endoscopy and Surgery (AGES) Advanced Training Program (AATP).
This form must be completed for the re-accreditation of an AATP Training Unit by AGES, or if there are any significant changes affecting the Unit's ability to deliver the AGES Curriculum during the accredited period (e.g. resignation/change of Training Unit Director, an increase in the number of training places etc.).
Submission Timeline
Applications should be submitted 3- to 6-months before the date of expiration of your Unit’s accreditation. Incomplete applications will be returned with a request to provide the missing information, which may delay processing.
Review Process
Re-accreditation decisions are based on the information provided in this application. An interview may be scheduled to clarify the documentation. Educationalists familiar with the AATP will make an initial recommendation to the AGES Education Committee, which may result in one of the following outcomes:
- The unit should be re-accredited for 5 years from the date of expiration of the current accreditation.
- The unit should be re-accredited for a shorter period of time (e.g. 6 months) pending submission of additional evidence to meet standards to successfully deliver the AGES curriculum.
- The unit should not be re-accredited.
The AGES Education Committee will review the recommendation and make a final decision, with recourse to the AGES Board if necessary. Applicants may appeal the decision by emailing the Chairperson of the AGES Education Committee at education@ages.com.au.
