Quality Assurance Certification

EAHEA Quality Assurance Certification

The European Agency for Higher Education and Accreditation standards become an easy and effective instrument for measuring institutional education quality on an international level because they are not affected by local legislative formats, regulations, or cultural idiosyncrasies.

EAHEA certifies institutions and educational providers who meet its Quality Standards for higher education. All standards highlight best practices at all levels of education and training and are adaptable to a variety of needs and situations.
