1.1.2 ToassurestudentsofconsistencyinCPEprogrammes-CPEStudentsneedtoknowwhatto

expectwhenapplyingtoaCPECentreinrelationtophilosophy,objectives,andprocedures.AccreditationbasedongivenStandardsallowsstudentsandotherstoformcertainbroadexpectationsforthepurposeandfunctionofCPEthatarenotrestrictedtospecificlocations,centres,orsupervisors.

1.1.3 Torecognizeachievement-AccreditationunitesCentreswithinWesternAustraliaas
