Five Simple Steps

Essentially, the ARTiBA partner appointment process crosses through the following five steps:

• 1 INITIATION – The prospective partner initiates the partnership enquiry by expressing its intent through an online application available on the website. This application is processed and forwarded to the ARTiBA Partner Validation Group. This step takes 2-5 workdays at maximum after the receipt of the online application. There are certain categories of partners, that are pre-approved and the partnering decision and other formalities are communicated much faster.
• 2 VALIDATION – The online application is processed by the Partner Validation Group and a Clarification request (if any) is sent to the prospective partner.
  This step takes 5–7 workdays after receipt of online application from the applicant organization.
• 3 CLARIFICATION – The prospective partner exchanges clarifications with the Partner Validation Group and completes the application process.
  As mentioned above, the Clarification request is sent within 5-7 workdays after receipt of online application from the applicant organization.
• 4 DECISION – The decision about partnering and related information is communicated within 3-5 workdays of receiving the clarification from the applicant organization. As mentioned above, in certain partner categories, that are pre-approved, the decision may be instantly communicated.
• 5 FORMALIZATION – The appointment is formalized and related documentation is completed. The new partner also completes the formalities of purchasing ARTiBA Certification System Units and the payment of a nominal application processing fee and/ or the license fee (if applicable for the chosen partnership option.)
