AHQSE accreditation of online, distance, e-learning or blended institutions is a voluntary, non-governmental process that recognizes institutions that meet standards of quality and stability. The purpose of accreditation is to assure the public, students, students' families, and other interested parties of the college's quality and its commitment to high quality standards through a system of constant improvement.
It is likely that your institution is already accredited in your country. However, AHQSE accreditation confirms your commitment to internationalization, especially to provide exemplary services to international students.
Our accreditation process consists of a set of key performance indicators divided into 7 main areas, namely:
- Governance, management and staff resources
- Premises, health and safety
- Quality of studies and moral integrity
- Teacher qualifications and experience
- Curriculum delivery
- Student Services
- Website design and functionality
Online education has opened the doors of higher education to those who are unable to access full-time education on campus. Online education allows people who live busy with work, family, students with physical disabilities, public and private employees, professional managers, business owners, the military or people living in remote parts of the world to have access to higher education.
Perceptions of the quality of online degrees compared to undergraduate degrees from traditional universities is very changeable. Although most major online universities are accredited, public estimation of their quality is often the subject of contentious debate. The main criticism of online, distance or blended learning programs concerns the safety of the assessment process and how an institution protects itself from several aspects of academic misconduct. AHQSE accreditation ensures that your institution has been evaluated and monitored and that management and technical resources have been thoroughly vetted as part of the AHQSE accreditation process.
