How long does Silver/Gold assessment take?
Once you have paid your CREST fees and payment has been processed, Silver/Gold assessment can take between 2 and 6 weeks, depending if it is a busy time of year.
Please note, if payments are sent without the project ID or invoice number as a reference, this can delay processing the payment, and therefore assessment, as we will not be able to identify where the payment came from.
