Candidate Course for Validation status:

The designation ‘Candidate Course for Validation’ implies that the proposals for the course are judged to have the potential to meet RIBA criteria, if implemented as anticipated. It is not, however, equivalent to Validation, which can only be granted once the standards of the work produced have been assessed and found satisfactory. Such assessments are made by a RIBA Visiting Board which then makes recommendations to the Validation Committee and Education Committee of the RIBA.
