Each higher education institution is entrusted with the responsibility of continuously improving the quality of its teaching and research tasks. Our accreditation scheme serves as a mark of distinction, helping institutions achieve and maintain international standards of excellence. All accredited institutions must undergo our stringent Continuous Perfection Evaluation process every year to ensure they are upholding the highest standards of quality.
The INTEAS Accreditation Committee is committed to upholding the highest standards of education and quality assurance. Our experienced team reviews various aspects of institutions, including curriculum, student satisfaction, e-learning platform, website, promotional materials, and key staff credentials, to ensure excellence in education.
To achieve INTEAS Accreditation, your institution will go through a rigorous review process, including a website and documentary inspection, followed by detailed feedback on your application’s status. Exceptional institutions may receive premier institution status, recognizing their outstanding achievements.
INTEAS also offers a range of prestigious membership levels on individual or organization levels.

APPLICATION PROCESS FOR ACCREDITATION
Streamlined Application Process for INTEAS Accreditation
Before the evaluation process begins, educational institutions applying for accreditation to INTEAS must pay the accreditation fee once the Accreditation Committee confirms their eligibility. If interested, please fill out the accreditation application form for a preliminary review. Then self-evaluation questionnaire needs to be filled and submitted and on-site visit is planned.
The Accreditation Committee of INTEAS meticulously examines several inspection areas, including academic quality and integrity, teaching staff qualifications, study program delivery, student satisfaction and services, website design, and performance. Endorsing the final grades of the accreditation report, the committee awards the corresponding accreditation certificate upon achieving full accreditation. During the accredited period, there is an annual fee payable (per each year – four years of accreditation means four annual payments). In the case of reaccreditation (quad-year renewal), a reaccreditation fee must be paid, and re-evaluation may be necessary if required.
Institutions must maintain ongoing compliance with the requirements of their accrediting organization to ensure the continuation of their accreditation status. Failure to do so may result in disqualification of accreditation. Additionally, accredited institutions are permitted to display the INTEAS logo and use promotional materials to showcase their accreditation.

COMPLAINTS AND DISCLAIMER
Rigorous Quality Standards and Commitment to Accreditation
While the INTEAS Accreditation Committee, similar to other accrediting agencies globally, is committed to ensuring that accredited programs maintain their level of quality and comply with INTEAS standards, it’s important to note that neither INTEAS nor its Accreditation Committee functions as a mediator for consumer complaints against institutions or programs of study. It is the responsibility of the institute to maintain the required level of quality. INTEAS operates solely as an accrediting body and is not a regulator or appellate panel for student or faculty grievances. However, our Accreditation Committee will accept and evaluate complaints against accrediting agency programs during the annual review of program conformity or reaccreditation processes if there are serious allegations that a program fails to comply with INTEAS standards.
Application and the self-evaluation forms
To start the application process, fill out the Application form and pay the accreditation fee. The next step is to fill out the self-evaluation questionnaire (and submit additional documents we may ask you to deliver based on the character of your institution). Contact us when this phase is done or nearing completion so an on-site visit can be planned (usually within the next month or two). You should receive a final accreditation decision several weeks later. Please take a look at the Application for more details on the process.
