2. ACCREDITED OR CERTIFIED INSTITUTIONS OF EDUCATION

 

The Education Quality Accreditation Commission has established two ways to consider and list an accredited or certified institution of education.

 

OPTION 1. The EQAC Accreditation Process.

Any educational institution that intends to earn the accreditation status from the Education Quality Accreditation Commission must demonstrate compliance, through the application for accreditation (Self Assessment Report), with the education quality standards set forth by the Education Quality Accreditation Commission.

 

OPTION 2 - EQAC Equivalent Accreditation.

Institutions of education holding an accreditation that may be considered equal or superior to the education quality standards set forth by the Education Quality Accreditation Commission may be included in the list of EQAC Accredited institution upon request from:

  • A professor from such institution of education.
  • A graduate from such institution of education requesting a degree validation diploma.
  • The qualifications from a member of the commission EQAC.

In any case the Education Quality Accreditation Commission must conclude an assessment about such institution of education. The cost of this evaluation may vary depending on the complexity to estimate the equivalency of the accreditation status.

 

The Education Quality Accreditation Commission is an excellent opportunity to contribute to the global establishment of world wide accepted education quality standards. If you consider that you may join the Education Quality Accreditation Commission in any of the above described categories, you should write an email to the EQAC Secretary with your request. The EQAC Secretary will coordinate all the administrative requirements.

INSTITUTIONAL HISTORY

1999

The Education Quality Accreditation Commission founders were aware of the need of international standard-setting instruments in the field of education quality and accreditation that were indispensable in a decentralized global world in order to keep pace with rapid changes in the private educational sector and to guaranty education quality standards, while promoting the development of efficient education quality and accreditation systems. Following the premise of thinking globally though acting locally, the Education Quality Accreditation Commission was rooted in the most representative socioeconomic environments of the Western World.

The Education Quality Accreditation Commission was incorporated in the United Kingdom with Companies House Reg. Number: 3.728.049 to best represent the interest of UK and Commonwealth countries in the provision of accreditation and quality auditing to education institutions.

2000 

The Education Quality Accreditation Commission was incorporated in Washington D.C., USA, as a non profit corporation to best represent North America and the English language areas of influence. Additionally it was incorporated in Spain with Reg. Number: B80317283 to best represent the interest of European, Mediterranean and Latin American Spanish speaking countries.

The "Together in the World Foundation (TW)", which developed programs and activities in line with the orientations set out by UNESCO in respect to the promotion of social and cultural development, fostered the establishment of the Education Quality Accreditation Commission as the means to enhance the promotion of quality education and complement social and cultural development through sound independent educational initiatives. The Education Quality Accreditation Commission was deeply inspired by the UNESCO policy on education for the Twenty-First Century.

2001

The TW Foundation recognized the need of the Education Quality Accreditation Commission institutional autonomy for further development of the project. Mrs. Mercedes Lopez, director of TW Foundation, resigned her duties in relation to the Education Quality Accreditation Commission. Dr. Francis Dessart, from Belgium, became the president of the independent EQAC. Dr. Samuel Murinda, from Zimbabwe, was appointed EQAC Secretary.

2004

Prof. Dr. Francis Dessart resigned from his position due to age and health problems. Dr. Samuel Murinda reduced his implication in the EQAC Secretary due to his other professional and academic ventures. The Education Quality Accreditation Commission fell into a period of low activity. In 2008, Dr. Guillermo M. Olsen became the new president of the Education Quality Accreditation Commission. The activities, regulations and services of the EQAC were deeply revised. The website was redesigned. Eduardo Cano, from Spain, was appointed EQAC Secretary.

2012

The Education Quality Accreditation Commission met in order to approve a more executive management of the Commission. Doctor William Martin was appointed the new president. Nuria Mañon, from Spain, was appointed EQAC Secretary.
