International Accreditation Process
The process is straightforward, and we work with you to make sure thatb the inspection timeline disrupts your daily operation as little as possible.
The continued success of the ASIC approach vindicates our long-held belief that quality assurance is about people and attitudes - that every box ticked, every metric measured, is meaningless without that focus. We have designed each stage to be as easy to understand as possible, integrating seamlessly into your existing quality assurance cycle.
The 3 stages of the international accreditation process.

Inspection Parts 1&2
Inspection Parts 1&2
Stage1:A member of the Accreditation Committee will review the application and the documentation submitted. If the information provided is acceptable, a self-evaluation form (if applicable) will need to be completed ahead of moving onto Stage 2. If it is not, IACHE will issue guidance on how best to rectify any issues found, or advise on alternative options, (i.e. Candidacy). First Apply, Get Approved,Then Pay

Stage2:The inspection phase is split into two parts, which usually take place during the same visit (carried out separately for new providers who may be awarded Interim). Inspectors will meet with staff and students, observe teaching, and examine the facilities and resources available. They will also discuss the business plan, mission, and vision for future development.

Stage3:The Reporting Inspector will collate the application form, self-evaluation form, and the documents and notes from the site visit(s) and produce a written report. The report will record all IACHE Commendables conferred and any innovative practices noteworthy of comment. The report is usually submitted to the committee two weeks from the date of the inspection visit.

The report is submitted to the IACHE Accreditation Committee for review. (NB: the decision is the remit of the AC, IACHE inspectors/staff will be unable to declare the outcome). IACHE will communicate the outcome in writing, usually within two weeks following the submission of the report. Once the Annual Fee is paid, the institution then receives the Certificate, Final Report, and Welcome Pack.
If successfully granted, IACHE Accreditation lasts for four years from the date of award. Subsequent Annual Fees are payable each year on the date of the Initial Fee. (Specific circumstances may vary.)
Parts 1 and 2
Inspection Part 1
Part 1 will focus on compliance with academic regulations, the quality of management, student support, premises and facilities, health and safety, and available resources for the courses. The inspectors will need to examine procedural documentation, attendance recording systems, examples of marked work and feedback forms from students*, and statutory documentation, e.g. approvals from the local Ministry of Higher Education and fire regulations.

Inspection Part 2
The main focus at this stage is to review the evidence gathered so far and then assess the institution’s ability to uphold and maintain IACHE Standards. The inspector(s) carry out a detailed audit of systems, observation of teaching, and meetings with staff and students to gather their perspectives. (The exact format will depend upon the size, location, and type of institution, and we consult with the institution to work alongside their usual operation and timetable.) The visit will conclude with a final meeting with the Institution Head to present informal feedback (not app;icable for the virtual (online) inspection and Distance Learning (DL)). NB: the inspector(s) can not declare the outcome of the inspection.
