Any applicant judged by the assessor to have not provided all the necessary information or relevant or sufficient competency evidence, has six months to re-submit the information/evidence required, free of charge and with the offer of help from a CMA mentor. If that second submission continues to lack the information or evidence the assessor is looking for, the applicant will not be awarded accredited status.
Any appeal regarding the outcome of an accreditation application can only focus on potentially incorrect facts (given or received) or a proven departure from CMA’s standard accreditation application process. Appeals based on challenging an assessors decision will not be accepted. Assessor decisions are final.
Any appeal must be made in writing and set out clearly the factual basis for the appeal. Appeals should be sent to admin@countrysidemanagement.org.uk and will be responded to by the CMA Board within four weeks.
