The first step is the completion of a self-assessment via the Fáilte Ireland Trade Portal. Applications and self-assessments may only be completed online. Once a minimum standard is met, and the relevant fee paid, an assessment visit will be scheduled.
The self-assessment can be completed in multiple sessions, as previous responses are saved within the portal. However, once the self-assessment is submitted, it cannot be amended, and a provisional rating is provided to the business by email shortly after completion. This provisional rating is included in the discussion as part of the on-site assessment conducted by our Quality Assurance Assessors.
Guidelines on completing the self-assessment can be found here:
