-- Schools, colleges and training providers are being asked, more often than a decade ago, to show an outside reader how they admit learners, how they mark work and how they handle a complaint. The International Association for Quality Assurance in Pre-Tertiary and Higher Education has opened its institutional review to that demand. The review is of the provider. A listing names the institution and the period covered.
The application is at https://www.qahe.org/accreditation-membership-form/. A committee asks for a registration extract, a programme overview, study regulations, an assessment policy, a complaints procedure and a quality-review log. The same file is used for a campus school and for an online college. Distance changes the evidence, not the questions. A platform needs an owner, a record of marked work and a person a learner can write to. A prospectus is not a substitute for that record.
QAHE says the interest is coming from private schools, vocational centres and colleges that teach across borders, and from institutions that already hold a national registration and want a second, international reading. The Association puts the number of listed institutions above 400. News of a new listing or a renewal is posted on the site, and the profile remains the page a reader is sent to. The former .uk address has been retired. The public site is www.qahe.org.
The partnerships are the other half of the public record. QAHE says it has signed more than twenty memoranda with quality-assurance bodies and education organisations. They are listed at https://www.qahe.org/partnership-and-recognition/. Independent Nigeria reported in September 2026 a partnership action plan with the World Accreditation Commission on cooperation in higher-education quality assurance. Published agreements also include the Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization and the African Naturopathic Federation. The texts cover exchange of review practice and, where they say so, notice of a listing between the parties.
Honorary awards sit beside the institutional work. Nominations are open for honorary doctorates, fellowships and distinguished professorships, made on a record of service rather than by examination. Recipients are profiled on the site. A school that wants the review, and a reader who wants to check a school, are both pointed to the same address.
