All programmes can be filtered by status below as:

  • Recognised (per scope): Programmes that have successfully passed the SSCI benchmark for the respective scope.
  • Conditionally Recognised: This form of recognition signifies that the programme is recognised, provided that specific corrective actions to address minor gaps that do not compromise the scheme’s overall alignment with the SSCI requirements will be completed within an agreed-upon timeline.
  • In the Benchmarking Process: Programmes may choose to be displayed as currently undergoing benchmarking to show their commitment to meeting industry expectations.

A note on the ‘Monitoring of Continued Alignment Process (MoCA)’

The Benchmark Process is based on continuous alignment and will therefore have annual assessments to check the continued alignment with the mandatory SSCI Benchmark Requirements on an annual basis (SSCI Integrity Programme). The monitoring is performed by the independent Benchmark Leader (usually who performed the initial benchmark of the programme) under the supervision of the SSCI manager. The steps of the yearly Monitoring of Continued Alignment (MoCA) process are:
