Through accreditation of individual programmes (EPAS) or! Through evaluation and guidance by mentoring (EDAF)! The three systems are linked in order to help schools move from one stage to another. The EPAS and EDAF systems include, if required, a gap analysis to enable schools to assess what improvements are required to achieve the next stage of accreditation.
