If you’re reading this, chances are you’re interested in CHAS accreditation for your business.
It’s a major health and safety certification in the UK, and it shows clients that you take safety seriously. Being accredited helps you get increased credibility and a better chance at landing those big contracts with organizations that prioritize safety.
But let’s not pretend it’s a walk in the park—there’s a lot of paperwork and regulations involved. And the cost of CHAS accreditation is a big consideration, especially when you include the expenses for professional support you need to ensure you get it right.
As a CHAS-affiliated advisor at THS, I’ve helped many businesses achieve this important accreditation. I’ll help you understand the costs of this certification.
How much does CHAS accreditation cost?
The cost of CHAS accreditation depends on the level of accreditation you need and the size of your business. As of the time of writing, the following prices apply:
- CHAS Standard: Starts at £349 plus VAT.
- CHAS Advanced: Starts at £539 plus VAT.
- CHAS Elite: Starts at £749 plus VAT.
I want to make it clear that these fees are for CHAS accreditation alone. They don’t include any fees you might incur for professional help with the process.
Additional Chas costs: the need for a competent advisor
Getting CHAS accreditation involves more than just paying the membership fee. You’ll need to handle a lot of paperwork and have a competent advisor to guide you. This is where extra costs can add up.
Why you need a competent advisor for your accreditation
One of the main challenges businesses face during the CHAS accreditation process is meeting the requirement for a “competent advisor”.
CHAS mandates that you have an advisor with proper health and safety qualifications and experience guiding the accreditation process. Without evidence of a legitimate competent advisor, your application will likely get rejected.
I can’t tell you how many companies I’ve worked with who tried to go it alone initially and hit a brick wall. Around half the businesses I deal with purchase CHAS but then call me after failing to properly complete the lengthy questionnaire on their own.
The fact is, only about 20% of applicants pass on that first try.
Some consultants out there simply provide documentation templates and charge £350 or so, leaving you to basically fend for yourself when it comes to filling them out correctly.
But that’s not how I operate. When you hire me as your competent advisor, I’m truly hands-on. I’ll complete all the necessary documents for you, making sure everything is filled out accurately with the information and evidence CHAS requires. All you’ll need to do is review and sign off on the various policy documents.
My qualifications and years of experience helping different companies get accredited allow me to guide you through the entire process much more smoothly.
I know the system inside and out, which saves you the headache of going through piles of confusing paperwork alone. Having an advisor like myself significantly increases your chances of getting accredited on the first submission.
