Our services
British qualifications hold exceptional global prestige, and institutions beyond the UK offering them often find immense value in gaining a British perspective on their quality assurance processes—precisely what we offer. CC&AA accredits providers in many countries worldwide, delivering an unparalleled standard of recognition and assurance.
CC&AA Independent Higher Education Accreditation
If your courses are validated by a UK university, CC&AA offers independent higher education accreditation to demonstrate that all facets of your organisation adhere to UK standards in your local context. As an independent higher education institution teaching in English outside the UK, CC&AA's accreditation provides enhanced visibility in a fiercely competitive market and fosters confidence in the quality of your institution.
The global reputation of UK higher education attracts students from around the world. External recognition of your institution, both locally and globally, provides a competitive advantage in attracting the most capable students.
CC&AA conducts inspections across key areas, including management, teaching, student welfare, and premises, ensuring that your organization meets the high standards required of a higher education institution in the UK but adapted to a local context. Successful achievement in these areas results in independent higher education accreditation from the Council for Certification and Accreditation (CC&AA) for a four-year term.
Inspection areas include:
Governance, Strategy, and Financial Management
Academic Management and Administration
Teaching, Learning, and Assessment
Student Recruitment, Support, Guidance, and Progression
Premises, Facilities, and Learning Resources
Quality Management, Assurance, and Enhancement
The Independent Higher Education Institution (IHEI) accreditation scheme caters to institutions delivering the majority of their programs at the higher education level. The standards and key indicators are tailored to the delivery of higher education, drawing insights from the UK’s Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education and the responsibilities outlined in the Handbook for the Quality Management of Collaborative Provision developed by the Council of Validating Universities. This scheme is open to institutions based in the UK and internationally.
For providers of higher education, the Independent Higher Education accreditation scheme by CC&AA adds value and prestige to your institution.
