SEA Certification can consist of two steps. First the self-assessment where you can determine where you are, and second, the on-site audit where you have a certified examiner perform a 3-day on-site audit to certify your company in Stage 1, 2, or 3 of the SEA Roadmap. The biennial audit is $9,700. and the annual survellience audit is $3,500.

If you are entering this process because you have recently joined SEA and wish to participate in the guided self-assessment as referenced in the SEA Membership Process, then you will only need to download and study the first five items under "Self-Assessment Preparation" below and the Self-Assessment Survey (download). A facilitator will be assigned to new members to conduct the online guided self-assessment with you. You can request the guided self-assessment at any time. There is no charge for members requesting a guided self-assessment.

If you are preparing for the Onsite Audit, then we suggest you use the first nine items under "Self-Assessment Preparation" to help you prepare for the audit. For scheduling of onsite audit, please email us. You will find preliminary instructions for preparing for the On-site Audit below. Your assigned examiner will contact you and provide more detailed scheduling information.
