Accreditation

What is Accreditation?

Accreditation is the process in which accredited certification bodies provide certification to academic institutions and programs to safeguard the performance and quality of the courses offered and services provided by academic institutions. The accreditation process ensures that the academic practices are institutionally-governed and that the instruction-delivery bodies are competent enough to deliver instruction at an academic level.
