Section 3Profi le of the private providersThis section aims to identify key features of the sample of 50 private AET provider sites evaluated inthis accreditation cohort. Where possible, some discussion of the statistics is provided. Of the sitesevaluated, 16 had their accreditation candidacy status confi rmed, while 34 did not have their accreditationcandidacy status confi rmed.3.1 CAUTIONARY REMARKSThe data submitted by providers in their profi les were compiled into a database, discussed in thissection.
