Our Accreditation Process

At International Education Compliance Network (IECN), we believe in a transparent and comprehensive accreditation process designed to support institutions in their pursuit of excellence. Our accreditation process consists of several key steps:

  1. Initial Consultation
    We begin with an initial consultation to understand your institution’s goals, needs, and the specific accreditation services required. This step allows us to tailor our approach to best fit your unique context.
  2. Application Submission
    Once we have discussed your needs, you will submit an application for accreditation. This includes providing essential documents and evidence that showcase your institution’s current practices and standards.

  3. Self-Evaluation
    Institutions are encouraged to conduct a self-evaluation against IECN’s standards. This reflective process helps identify strengths and areas for improvement, laying the groundwork for a successful accreditation review.

  4. Site Visit and Assessment
    Our accreditation team will conduct an on-site visit (or virtual assessment if applicable) to evaluate your institution’s operations, teaching and learning environments, and overall quality. This thorough assessment involves interviews, observations, and document reviews.

  5. Review and Recommendations
    Following the assessment, our team compiles a detailed report with findings and recommendations. This report will highlight areas of compliance as well as opportunities for growth, ensuring your institution is informed and supported throughout the process.

  6. Accreditation Decision
    Based on the assessment findings, the IECN accreditation committee will make a decision regarding your institution’s accreditation status. Institutions meeting our rigorous standards will be awarded accreditation, recognizing their commitment to quality.

  7. Ongoing Support and Re-Evaluation
    Accreditation is not the end of the journey. We provide ongoing support to accredited institutions, including opportunities for professional development and resources to maintain and enhance quality. Institutions will undergo regular re-evaluations to ensure they continue to meet IECN standards.
