What Is Accreditation?

Accreditation is a process by which Companies, organizations, and educational institutions are reviewed to determine whether they meet the standards of the accrediting body. Accredited status is not permanent; it has to be renewed through periodic review.

In the United Kingdom, academic accreditation is voluntary and decentralized; it is carried out by many non-governmental, non-profit organizations. Accreditation may be either institutional or programmatic, and is a voluntary, comprehensive, and objective process of outside peer review to determine whether an institution or program meets the standards of the accrediting body in institutional and/or educational quality and effectiveness.

What Is TCB UK Accreditation?

TCB UK accreditation is not a ranking system; rather, it is a form of quality assurance, declaring to the relevant professional community and to the world at large, that a program meets the quality standards set by the technical profession.

TCB UK accreditation applies to programs only, not degrees, departments, colleges, institutions, or individuals.

How Does a Program Achieve TCB UK Accreditation?

A program achieves TCB UK accreditation when it complies with the criteria, policy, and procedures upon which a TCB UK review is based. The TCB UK accreditation review process typically takes 18 months to complete, starting with a program's formal request for an TCB UK review.

Please see Accreditation: Step-by-Step for detailed information about the TCB UK accreditation process.
