Consulting in accreditation, quality and development for education businesses
Program Accreditation
Institutional accreditation do not always guaranty that your programms of study are fully recognized. It all depends on the accreditation model you have identified and chosen or on your national requirements. You may have also well decided -from a strategic stand point- to only apply for program accreditation as it would better suit your institutional needs and positioning
YOUR AMBITION
Acquiring program accreditation for Bachelor programs or equivalent
​
Your programs of study has a reputation at the regional, national or international level but do not hold an official recognition / accreditation, which discredits the education you provide and limits further study opportunities to your graduates or home-country governmental recognition (Scholarships, diploma recognition, business opening, etc...)
​
Acquiring program accreditation / recognition for Masters programs or equivalent
​
Your Masters programs or equivalent are well-known at the regional, national or international level, but do not hold an official recognition / accreditation; which discredits your education services and limits opportunities to your graduates (governmental recognition, scholarships, diploma recognition, business opening, etc...).
Masters programs and particularly MBAs holding such program accreditation would indeed get a competitive advantage against other Masters programs offered around the world. Distance learning / Online / competency-based Masters programs are currently under scrutiny with specific quality norms et criteria to guarantee similar-than-campus-based learning outcomes.
However, it is also important to note that, as this program accreditation is based on a volunteer basis, recognition from ACBSP, AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS or other non-governmental accreditation bodies may be not sufficient to get full recognition from some national governments.
