Accreditation is an important recognition.
Accreditation is important because it gives the assurance to the public, in particular to prospective students, that you, as an education provider, meet quality educational standards in the global market.
Prospective students usually feel insecure accessing the international market when they need to measure the quality of a foreign education provider with the standards known to them (set forth by their own country). The EQAC Accreditation may provide a global education quality reference not limited or constrained by local regulations or idiosyncrasies.
What institutions of higher learning should be considering is not adding more local accreditations in their home nation, but a truly international accreditation standard that may serve in the global market arena. Apply now!

- Recognition. Each EQAC accredited member institution will receive a recognition diploma certifying the accreditation. This status may be permanently checked by any third party at the EQAC website.
- Promotion. The EQAC will promote its accredited members through the Internet and will forward any request to the appropriate institution. The EQAC will finally reinforce the decision process of some potential students by emailing verification of the accreditation status of its members to any questioner.
- Global Networking. All the EQAC accredited member institutions aim towards a similar quality and long terms goals despite of their country of origin. This goal is reassured by the EQAC accreditation they share. This fact facilitates the establishment of diverse types of international cooperation and agreements among member institutions, such as learning from other colleagues around the world, establishing academic synergies, creating cooperative global market strategies, etc...
- Quality Control. The EQAC accreditation does not only provide a warranty of academic quality, educational integrity and administrative responsibility of the accredited institutions, but also ensures a continuous quality monitoring and feedback. The EQAC welcomes complains, suggestions and comments related to any member institution. These comments may provide a useful and quick feedback to the institution about any academic or marketing actions it conducts. Comments are also efficient to help the institution in detecting problems as well as to monitor that EQAC standards are respected.
- Conflict Resolution. The EQAC may intervene in several ways in the resolution of conflict within the different layers of the accredited institution. The EQAC may arbitrate disputes between members and/or students. The EQAC may guide and support the institution during periods of serious difficulty, potential liability, insecurity of continuation and even possible shut down. The EQAC advice will be always aimed to preserve the student welfare.
