QAHE accreditation helps students and parents make a more informed choice and will also help a school, college, university, training provider, professional training or distance education provider, demonstrate to the international student body that they are a high quality institution
International Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (QAHE), registered in Delaware USA, is an independent, private and international organization which is funded through fees charged for its accreditation services to Higher Education Institutions, Certification Bodies, E-Learning Management System Providers and Training Organizations. We use our expertise to support the development of quality assurance systems worldwide. As the accrediting agency has grown in size and complexity, the quality assurance systems have evolved and, progressively, tasks are articulated and delegated, with official certifications.
Besides traditional higher education, distance education, vocational education and the need for recognition of prior learning are all important subjects in the field of higher education. The drastic change in higher education requires QAHE to enhance the quality assurance mechanism. QAHE recognizes higher education institutions for research performance, student services and teaching quality to value the confidence of the public. Our accreditation of higher education institutions is a voluntary and non-governmental process of quality assurance and institutional development.
Unlike conventional programs, many academic programs and professional training courses taught by electronic means can go beyond geographical borders and do not inevitably require a campus or classroom. QAHE understands the transformation in the higher education sector, therefore assuming the existence of a physical academic infrastructure while assessing institutions’ academic and teaching quality may not be applicable.
QAHE accreditation status signifies your institution’s commitment to quality education which is in compliance of international standards. Accreditation enriches the profile of your university on international level, resulting in high student’s admissions and retention percentage. Through our accreditation, you may offer dual degree programs through our accredited institution, equivalency and legalization services to your students. Besides, QAHE accreditation will give you an opportunity to publicize your institution at our website.
The final award of QAHE accreditation indicates that the institution has achieved high-level specifications of professional and academic implementation in global tertiary education and has a commitment to continuous excellence. With our benchmark seal of accreditation, it would increase the credibility and trustworthiness of higher education and executive training providers based on precise and peer valued supervision and compliance. As a prime candidate in the field of institutional and programmatic assessment and accreditation worldwide, we offer a unique international accreditation with a focal point on the development of students as international citizens. Academic and professional credential evaluation is getting more important due to globalization. QAHE is proudly recognized by California University FCE for the purpose of granting the equivalent US degree for our accredited institutions. California University FCE which is organized under the California Non-Profit Public Benefit Corporation Law for public and charitable purposes. California University FCE is a legitimate Elementary Education and Higher Education Assessment Institution within the State of California Educational System.
Within this context, California University FCE provides the following services:
To evaluate foreign academic credentials and professional experience.
To evaluate and integrate all academic credits earned from various schools, colleges, and universities from abroad and within the U.S.A.
To determine if these credits fulfill the requirements for graduation with a baccalaureate, master’s or doctorate degree.
To issue certificate and diploma equivalency (high school to doctorate degree).
To do a course-by-course evaluation for licensure, immigration, and transfer credits to any regionally accredited colleges or universities in the U.S.A.
California University FCE has agreements with various colleges and universities to have CUFCE assessments of Adult Education studies accepted for College Degree Programs. California University FCE program structure is in part similar to programs at some U.S. Universities.
California University FCE does not issue college degrees per se, but degree equivalency, which requires the same scope and breadth of knowledge as someone who has actually completed a nationally or regionally accredited college program.
Moreover, California University FCE was commissioned to do curricula and program evaluations of some U.S. colleges and universities that applied for national accreditation. Most of its clienteles were granted national accreditation. It has also evaluated the curricula and programs of some member-universities of the Global University Network for Innovation (GUNI) of UNESCO. GUNI is under UNESCO and the United Nations University.
QAHE also has been admitted as an Accredited Member of the Board of Quality Standards (BQS). QAHE has fulfilled the Validation criteria of BQS and is fully approved by the chairman of IAC and can participate at INQAAHE Worldwide conference as BQS member. The Board of Quality Standards is an independent international quality assurance regulator and a member of the International Quality Assurance Agencies for Higher Education (INQAAHE).
The University is based in the United States, State of Delaware, City of Lewes, and County of Sussex under the file No.6700832 https://icis.corp.delaware.gov/eCorp/EntitySearch/NameSearch.aspx . Our founding principles are based on the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights; per article 26, BRAINAE believes that Higher Education is a Human Right. The University has implemented a paradigm shifting educational model for its academic programs that have allowed it to move closer to this goal through the self-empowerment of its students, decentralization of the learning process, personalized open curriculum design, a sustainable learning model
Due to these differentiations and the university’s mission, only a reputable accrediting agency with the vision and plasticity to integrate and adapt its processes around BRAINAE’s proven and successful innovative programs could be selected. Unfortunately, the vast majority of accrediting agencies adhere to and follow obsolete processes and requirements that have outlived their usefulness and are in direct conflict with the university’s mission of offering a unique, dynamic, affordable, quality higher education to the non-traditional student (one who must work, study what he really needs for professional advancement, attend family issues, etc.). We believe that adopting outdated requirements and processes would impose increased financial burdens on students while severely limiting their opportunities to earn their degree and advance in all aspects. Thus, in selecting the QAHE as its accrediting agency, BRAINAE ensured that its unique programs would not be transformed into a copy or clone of those offered by the 10,000+ colleges and universities around the world.
Note: In the United States and abroad, many licensing authorities require accredited degrees as the basis for eligibility for licensing. In some cases, accredited colleges may not accept for transfer courses and degrees completed at unaccredited colleges, and some employers may require an accredited degree as a basis for eligibility for employment. Potential students should consider how the above may affect their interests; BRAINAE respects the unique rules and regulations of each country and does not seek to influence the respective authorities. In the event that a prospective student wishes to carry out any government review or process in regards to his university degree, we recommend that the requirements of such are explored in detail with the relevant authorities by the prospective student as the university does not intervene in such processes.
BRAINAE students can be found in over 201 countries, they actively participate and volunteer in their communities as part of their academic program and have allocated thousands of service hours to diverse causes and initiatives. BRAINAE programs follow the standards commonly used by colleges and universities in the United States with regards to the following: academic program structure, degree issued transcript, and other graduation documents. BRAINAE graduation documents can include an apostille and authentication from the US Department of State to facilitate their use internationally. We encourage all BRAINAE students to participate in the BRAINAE Pledge which is a commitment to give back to their communities, country, and the world.
