We help institutions design or refine internal systems for academic quality—such as curriculum review, faculty evaluation, and assessment of student learning. These frameworks promote continuous improvement and long-term accreditation success.
Our simulated site visits mirror real accreditation evaluations. We assess your readiness, identify areas of strength and concern, and provide a debrief with actionable recommendations to help you prepare with confidence.
We support the collection, organization, and formatting of critical accreditation documents—syllabi, policy manuals, strategic plans, assessment reports, and more. We also help institutions build digital “evidence rooms” for efficient evaluator access.
We help your institution design tools and processes to track and report key metrics like student achievement, retention, completion, and job placement. We also train staff in using data dashboards for compliance and strategic planning.
We compare your existing practices and policies with accreditation standards and provide strategic recommendations to close gaps—whether related to governance, curriculum, assessment, or compliance.
We offer tailored workshops and capacity-building sessions on topics such as instructional design, assessment literacy, program review, and accreditation processes. Training is delivered on-site or virtually.
We evaluate your academic and administrative policies—covering areas like admissions, grading, student conduct, governance, and appeals—and recommend updates to ensure full alignment with accreditor expectations.
The ED Council accreditation process is a structured and transparent sequence designed to ensure institutions uphold the highest standards of educational quality and accountabilit
Institutions initiate accreditation by submitting a formal application to The ED Council, demonstrating preliminary compliance with core standards.
The ED Council reviews institutional documentation to verify eligibility and readiness for accreditation.
Institutions conduct a thorough self-assessment, reflecting strengths and areas for improvement against the accreditation standards.
An expert evaluation team visits the institution to assess compliance with standards through direct observation, interviews, and document reviews.
The evaluation team submits a detailed report highlighting findings, commendations, and recommendations for improvement.
Based on the peer reviewers' findings, a recommendation is made to The ED Council’s Accreditation Board regarding the institution’s accreditation status.
Successful institutions receive initial accreditation, valid for a period of three to five years, recognizing their commitment to educational excellence.
Accredited institutions participate in regular monitoring and undergo periodic re-evaluation to ensure sustained compliance and continuous improvement.
The ED Council is dedicated to supporting institutions at every step, ensuring a transparent, thorough, and beneficial accreditation experience.
