Accreditation




Accreditation is a procedure carried out to verify whether the activities of an educational institution comply with established state educational standards and other regulatory legal acts. It provides a legal basis for determining the institution's status, setting the student intake limit for each specialty (program), and extending its operation for a specified period.

The accreditation process is divided into two types: institutional and program accreditation.


1. Institutional Accreditation

The accreditation of an educational institution is conducted to ensure that its operations conform to the requirements of state education standards and other legal regulations. This process serves as a legal guarantee for determining the institution's status, student intake limits per program, and the extension of its activities for the next period.
Institutional accreditation is carried out every five years by the Agency for Quality Assurance in Education. The process concludes with the issuance of an official quality document – a certificate.

2. Program Accreditation

The second type of accreditation is program accreditation, which is organized according to the classifications of the respective levels of education. It evaluates the infrastructure and teaching resources of the programs offered by the institution, the qualifications of teaching staff, and the alignment of students' knowledge, skills, and competencies with labor market requirements. It also assesses the implementation of the program.
Program accreditation provides a legal guarantee for determining the training capacity and student intake limit for each specialty.
Program accreditation can be carried out by the Agency for Quality Assurance in Education, as well as organizations that are members of the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA).
