There are seven framework areas in the Welcoming Standard, with each one being composed of a variety of indicators. Based on your pre-assessment results, the Certified Welcoming team at Welcoming America will assign you one of five tiers for assessment. Through the certification portal, you will be able to upload evidence for the certification team to review and see your assessment progress through the various stages of Certified Welcoming (self-assessment, background review and analysis, audit, audit action plan, and certified).  

For additional information please see the Standard Operating Procedure located in the Resource Hub.
