Contact the Accreditation Director at either organization. I know that ACA has a course that must be taken (for $75.00 with no guarantee that you will be an auditor) before you will be considered. NCCHC used to have a class, usually at their Annual Conference, but I have not seen it offered in a long time. Auditors get paid a very minimal stipend and travel expenses, but it is a very important job in my view! Good Luck!

the first is you have to get your certification either CCHP for NNCH or CCN/M for ACA, then once passed the exam you can apply for a surveyor for the agencies; for more info you canvisit NCCHC.org or ACA.org
