How to get PAS 43 certification

It's a simple 4-step process to achieve your PAS 43 certification and start winning new business.

  • Preparation

    Your Assessor will be in touch to help you get everything in place so that you're ready for your first assessment.

  • Stage 1 assessment

    There’s no pressure for the first assessment; many are surprised what they already have in place. Following the assessment, you will receive a report (often referred to as a ‘gap analysis’) which highlights the steps you need to take to achieve your certification.

  • Stage 2 assessment

    When you’re ready, our Assessor will conduct a second assessment and will share their findings on the day. Their report will be sent to our Compliance Department for sign-off (a key part of the UKAS-accredited requirements) and your certification will be issued shortly thereafter.

  • Annual assessment

    The excellent reputation of PAS 43 is driven by its requirement for ongoing improvement, so we'll keep in touch and arrange annual assessments to keep your certification up-to-date.
