How long does the certification process take?

A reasonable expectation is that certification will take a minimum of 30 days from the time that the process is started. Depending on the time of year and the number of businesses currently applying for certification, the process could take longer. This time estimate includes initial consultation, completion of the scorecard, verification, and documentation of the certification. This estimate does not include the time needed to complete your initiatives internally, some of which could take much longer.
