Accreditation

Why is accreditation so important?

The first task of any learner when he/she enrolls for any course with a college, university, or any institute is to check if it is accredited by a globally recognized accreditation body as it is considered to be the foremost step to becoming certified teaching professional.

• Accreditation is self-initiated by an organization and helps in evaluating the services provided by them
• Accreditation provides the scope for continuous quality enhancement.
• It helps the organization in maintaining a high level of service quality.
• It also ensures the interests of the learners; the prospective employers and the organization's reputations are safeguarded in the best possible manner.
• Accreditation is often given after thorough and intensive review and evaluation of their education process and practices and provides reliability especially to non-traditional forms of instructions such as online and distance learning.
