Application Process

To apply for “Accredited Provider” is a rigorous process that involves extensive hands-on evaluation by the ILACE Committee. Its thorough nature ensures that Provider status is valued in the marketplace and that organizations that have been approved as an ILACE Accredited Provider are the best of the best.

Online Application Submission

ILACE’s application is now 100% online.  The online application decreases processing time, saves money shipping materials, and better allows for communications between ILACE and the provider.  The online application also allows the provider to work on the submission and return to it as many times as needed until it is ready to submit to ILACE for review.
