IEQAAS Accreditation Criteria

The accreditation criteria depend on the institution quality standards. Evaluation commissioners use them to determine whether an institution deserves or reconfirms accreditation. The international accreditation criteria are processed through the Sector Reports Evaluations by the institution management; all relevant documents attached will also be assessed.

IEQAAS committee verifies that the reports meet the international standards criteria. The Reports contents will be cross-referenced and should be consistent with each other. As each institution is different in terms of rules and regulations, human culture, founding purposes and country reference frame work, it is considered that the critical quality characteristics included in the reports are appropriate to the educational standards of international organizations.

Institutions applying for accreditation must be suitable and meet the following minimum requirements:

• The institution formally enrolls students and keeps records, documents and students’ academic data on a constant basis.
• The institution has a students’ service specific department. It implements an in-service training process for its teachers.
• The institution provides students with arranged teaching materials to facilitate interaction.
• The institution ensures continuous, two-way communication on students' work.
• The institution relies on a pre-established reimbursement plan in case of cancellation.
• The institution provides students’ academic information to employers, companies, organizations, enquiring about their study backgrounds.
