ASF Professional Certification

Three independent professional credentials for the people who run, coordinate, and verify accreditation in healthcare facilities. Each track can be entered directly — one shared foundation module, one examination, one annual credential.

One shared foundation, three independent tracks. Every ASF professional begins with ASF-00 — a 30-minute orientation module taken once and credited to any track you pursue. After that, Monitor and Coordinator are fully independent: you can take either, both, or both simultaneously, in any order. The Surveyor credential requires both plus two years of direct facility experience — it is the capstone, not the next step.

Which track is right for me?

I work inside a healthcare facility and want to lead our accreditation cycle.

Start with Coordinator Certification (CRD-01). It covers evidence collection, quarterly self-assessment cycles, and file maintenance — exactly what an in-house accreditation lead does. You can add Monitor on the side or later.

I want to review and verify facilities independently — as a consultant or external reviewer.

Start with Monitor Certification (MON-01). It covers the full ASF verification methodology: evidence review, scoring, on-site visits, and sign-off. You do not need Coordinator first.

I want to hold both certifications and keep my options open.

Both Monitor and Coordinator can be taken simultaneously — they share ASF-00 and nothing else. Many professionals take both in a single enrolment period to hold the full entry-level credential portfolio.

I already hold MON-01 and CRD-01 and have two or more years of field experience.

You are eligible for Surveyor Certification (SRV-01) — ASF’s senior track covering complex assessments, disputed findings, and cross-border surveys. See the Surveyor page for the full prerequisite checklist.
