Application fee includes registration for two attendees to the CAATE Accreditation Conference.

Programs interested in starting an Athletic Training Residency or Fellowship Program and applying to seek initial accreditation with the CAATE will submit a new program application through eAccreditation. Program Administrators are encouraged to review the Pursuing and Maintaining Accreditation document. A yearly fee while seeking accreditation would allow programs access to eAccreditation for the purposes of entering student cohorts and completing the online evaluations and self-study. It is recommended that programs apply a minimum of one year prior to the start of the self-study. The yearly fee also includes registration for attendance at the CAATE Accreditation Conference for up to two participants.

Application for Comprehensive Review and Fees

The initial or continuing application for accreditation services, and the associated comprehensive programmatic review fee, made payable to the CAATE, is due in the CAATE Executive Office before the Self-Study is assigned a Site Visit Team. An invoice will be generated one month before the Self-Study submission due date. The invoice may be paid with credit card through the secure link on the electronic invoice or may be printed and mailed with a check to the address on the invoice. No program will be reviewed until the programmatic fee is paid. The comprehensive programmatic review fee covers the cost of self-study review and all associated site visit expenses. Accredited Programs in a comprehensive programmatic review year are still responsible for submitting the Annual Accreditation Fee. Programs that are applying for initial accreditation are responsible for paying the annual e-Accreditation access fee listed above including during the year of the comprehensive programmatic review.
