Accreditation is a voluntary and not-for-profit process. Accreditation of a distance education institution assures that it is performing according to the set principles and meets the required standards of an international online education institution.
IAAFOE follows a meticulously developed program in performing quality audits for accreditation purposes.
Accreditation from an authentic body means that the institution is offering quality education and its degrees are recognized. It ensures that the educational standards of the accredited institution would not deteriorate, which helps cement the institute’s credibility and wide recognition. This ultimately leads to higher acceptance of its degrees and its graduates in the job market.
Periodic re-evaluation by accrediting agencies provides ways to improve education. Also, accreditation is important for the smooth transfer of credits of students among colleges and universities.
IAAFOE Accrediting Board
IAAFOE Accrediting Board is made up of three councils, which are listed below:
Education Enhancement and Evaluation
Education Enhancement and Evaluation Council works to establish and constantly review and develop rules and standards that help institutions in mission completion, program planning and development, institutional evaluation activities, and successful educational outcomes.
Economic Review
Economic Review Council works to scrutinize the financial constancy of member institutions in order to ensure they maintain adequate financial assets to deliver quality education to their students.
Institutional Effectiveness
Institutional Effectiveness Council works to help out institutions improve their performance by establishing and assessing well-defined criteria for institutional effectiveness.
Want to find out if the school or college in which you are interested is accredited?
Looking to see if a program has the specialized accreditation you need, and if the agencies that have accredited the school and program are legitimate? Of course, you can ask the school or program, but it’s a lot wiser to check elsewhere.
