All APIL members sign up to the APIL
code of conduct and
consumer charter when they join the association. Both of these guides ensure that an APIL member will act in your best interests at all times.
APIL membership on its own, however, is not evidence of experience, expertise, nor competence which is why many APIL members have now applied for and been accepted to the APIL accreditation scheme. APIL accreditation is overseen by an independent Academic Quality Council and is well established. It has been running since September 1999.
