Accreditation

Accreditation is a process in which a programme of study or institution is assessed for its standard and given official recognition. There are two (2) types of accreditation:

• Programme Accreditation is accreditation concerned with the quality of a specific course or programme of study.
• Institutional Accreditation is concerned with the evaluation of an entire institution.

The accreditation process is intended to strengthen and sustain the quality and integrity of educational provisions, making it worthy of public confidence. Accreditation is therefore also a status.
