Accreditation of a qualification means that the standard of the programme of study and the way of delivering it, are appropriate to the award. Higher education institutions are required to have their qualifications accredited or recorded by us.
Self-accrediting higher education institutions (established under its own Act) are required to apply to have their qualifications recorded by the Commission while non self-accrediting institutions must apply to have their qualifications accredited by the Commission. A separate application must be made for each qualification offered by an institution.
