To nurture and advance distance online education at independent educational institutions around the world.
The mission and philosophy of IAAFOE revolves around the advancement of education based on independent, distance learning and technology-mediated learning strategies at educational institutions all over the world. The stated mission is achieved through deliberate and thorough accreditation and evaluation process for quality assessment and capacity enhancement as well as maintaining ethical business and educational practices. IAAFOE attempts to maintain high quality standards, policies and procedures that lead to effective institutional working.
The International Accredidation Association For Online Education (IAAFOE) is a non-governmental organization working as an independent institutional accrediting agency with the help of renowned educationists and an expert accreditation evaluation faculty. The association aims at:
Supporting and upholding professional academic quality.
Setting up self accountability gauges for the institutions.
Enhancing the standards of online education.
Improving the accreditation standards when required.
Ethical business practices online.
All the member institutions at IAAFOE fully comply with the principles laid by the association. The majority of these degree-granting institutions have noticed an increase in student enrolment since they received accreditation through us. IAAFOE has been fully approved by various regional accrediting bodies and have been termed as a reliable authority that evaluates the quality of post secondary education.
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 institutions improve their performance by establishing and assessing well-defined criteria for institutional effectiveness.
We have pre-defined and well structured recognition standards that every institution must comply with to become eligible for accreditation from IAAFOE.
It should be an institution primarily offering certification; diploma and degree programs designed to train and educate persons for various professions.
It should offer educational programs based on distance learning methods which help students develop skills and competencies to enhance their careers.
It should provide sufficient background for student enrollment in various programs to enable us to assess the educational effectiveness of those programs.
It should comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the state.
It should have proper planning based on timely revision of the curriculum, highly qualified instructors and state-of-the-art technology.
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.
