GCC accreditation is no longer time-limited but is subject to the satisfactory outcome of annual monitoring, and to the University College keeping the GCC informed of any significant changes that might affect the provision of the course.

Anyone wishing to practise as a Chiropractor in the UK must register with the GCC by law.

ECCE - European Council on Chiropractic Education

The 91°µÍø was re-accredited by the ECCE in 2016 for a period of five years. See the on the ECCE Website.
