Level 3 member accreditation (for contractors) is the highest level and the business holds the status of ‘Quality Assured Contractor’. At this level members must assure a complete quality outcome of the project. Businesses with this level of accreditation will meet all the requirements of the previous two levels plus participate in a greater level of training to meet compliance. Upon any realistic concern raised with the project, the member will organise an ATFA inspection. A full audit of the business and its operating procedures is conducted to achieve this level.
