The accreditation scheme
The accreditation scheme is the result of more than a decade of planning and consultation.
IPEd’s forerunner, the Council of Australian Societies of Editors, set up the Accreditation Working Group in 2001 to research assessment schemes.
IPEd established the Accreditation Board in 2005 to act on the working group’s recommendations.
The board has held responsibility for developing and implementing the scheme since then, and introduced the first exam in October 2008.
