How to Apply for a UCARE Center?

1. Who can become a UCARE?
Please carefully read our 32 requirements and deliverables here: UCARE 32 Requirements
2. How can I apply? What is the process like?
The first step is to read our list of requirements carefully. Do you fulfil most of them?
The second step is to prepare a Power Point presentation of the center. To do so, please fill in the Power Point document “Center Presentation for Audit_PP template“. We strongly recommend using the template for the presentation. These materials should show how your center meets the 32 UCARE criteria and may include photos, certificates, and any other documents that you feel are appropriate to send to the auditor (please keep confidentiality laws in mind!).This presentation is mandatory for the audit.

When you have the presentation ready, please click the Apply Here button below.
Together with the application, upload your Center Presentation in the application form and send it to us.
Please note that starting on June 15, the premium access to become an UCARE will be phased out. After this date, all prospective centers have to go through the full audit process.
A member of the UCARE office will get in touch with you after. We will check your presentation and explain the next steps. Applicant centers will be added to the UCARE website when the date of the audit is set.
3. What if I don’t fulfil every requirement and deliverable? Can I still apply?
4. How does the audit work?
5. The audit was successful! What happens now?
6. How many re-audits does my center have to go through?
7. How does a re-audit work?
8. Does a change of personnel (head) change the status of our center?
9. Can I apply to be an ACARE/ADCARE/ANACARE/ARIACARE center at the same time?
