The current pathway distinguishes Accredited, Featured and Flagship Centres. The appropriate tier depends on the place’s operating model, public access, teaching, facilities and wider sector role.

Fees and offer terms are maintained on the live CWA Secretariat application pages. ACA does not reproduce them here because they may change.
