Pass Lists
Education provider pass lists of courses leading to eligibility to register with the AHCS
We require education providers to submit electronic pass lists of graduates from accredited providers to facilitate the registrant application process. If you have any questions about pass lists, please contact us on
The application form for entry to the AHCS register requires applicants to provide details of the name of the accredited programme completed, along with the name of the education provider, and the start and end dates of their programme. We then cross reference this information against the pass list to progress their application. This process allows us to safeguard against fraudulent applications for registration.
Submitting pass lists
We only accept electronic versions of pass lists which have been completed using our pass list template available here . The completed pass list must only contain the details of those students who successfully completed the eligible award for registration and can be submitted to at any time throughout the year. We ask that education providers submit their pass lists as soon as practically possible to prevent any delays in registration.
Annual monitoring of accredited programmes
Programmes directly accredited by the AHCS are accredited on an open-ended basis and are subject to ongoing quality monitoring. Annual Monitoring is mandatory for all AHCS accredited Higher Education Providers to complete. They will need to complete the annual monitoring report relevant to each of the programmes they provide and answer all required questions. A programme which does not participate in quality monitoring, or for which quality concerns are identified, may have its accreditation withdrawn.
Programmes accredited on behalf of the AHCS are subject to annual monitoring by the accrediting organisation i.e., National School for Healthcare Science and the Institute of Medical Illustrators. The AHCS Head of Accreditation will request an annual report from each of these organisations as appropriate for their timescales and procedures.
Outcomes of all quality assurance activities are reported to our Education, Training and Standards Committee (ETSC) for consideration.
The following information applies to programmes directly accredited by the AHCS
The AHCS annual monitoring process will run annually between October and November to collect data for the preceding academic year (e.g., A request in October/November 2024 will apply to September 2023 to August 2024).
Accredited programmes will be exempt from completing the annual monitoring process for the first year after accreditation.
