The overall process tends to take about 6 weeks. We try to allow for around 3 weeks before the visit to collect and analyse college documentation, agree the schedule for the visit and provide all staff with an opportunity to respond to our on-line survey.
After the visit, it takes us 2-3 weeks to analyse the data and prepare the draft report which is then sent to the college leadership team for validation. There have been instances when colleges have wished to proceed faster than this in order to align SKEIN with their timelines for strategic planning and development and we always try to accommodate that.
