About IAO: www.iao.org

International Accreditation Organization (IAO) is an international educational

quality assurance agency working to enhance the standards of education

around the world. Accreditation and educational quality assurance are

essential factors that complete the educational ecosystem. While regional

accreditation bodies have dutifully evaluated education providers on a regional

scale; a body to recognize and accredit education providers on an international

scale was needed in the wake of growing globalization. With more students

studying at Educational Institutions or working for companies outside their

home country, it was imperative to create standards that are both regionally

and internationally recognized and accepted.

The India chapter of IAO is in charge of standardizing and promoting traditional

and non- traditional education in the India region. We have native members in

our team who are well aware of the dynamics of India education system and

possess the necessary expertise and knowledge to serve in the education field

in India.

The India chapter is responsible for organizing seminars, workshops and

education expos; it also facilitates IAO in serving education institutions and

other stakeholders within the India region.

To accomplish the challenge, IAO created a unique Points Profile System by

organizing the best global practices in education at one place. This evaluation

criteria was developed by gathering the common educational quality assurance

standards from all over the world in collaboration with regional accreditation

bodies. IAO's Point Profile System works as general basis of evaluation for any

education provider, regardless of its regional location. The core focus of the

Points Profile System is to work as an additional international accreditation for

education providers that will supplement their regional accreditation.

The Points Profile System is a dynamic and evolving system that is continually

updated in order to cater new developments in the academic world. In relation

to this, IAO is also working upon a Points Profile System for students on an

individual level that will increase individual acceptability and recognition of

students in both educational sector and the employer market.

IAO owes its success to its strong network and team of accreditation

professionals spread in over 25 countries around the world. IAO has also

collaborated with regional accreditation bodies to supplement their strict

accreditation methods with its expertise of standardizing the educational

environment internationally. IAO's expertise and services are also recognized

by different global accreditation associations.

Values:

Foster excellence in education all over the world in collaboration with regionalaccreditation bodies through the development of criteria and guidelines for

assessing educational effectiveness.

Encourage institutional improvement of education endeavors across the globethrough continuous self study and evaluation.

Ensure the confidence of educational community, the general public, and otheragencies or education providers.

IAO has formed alliances with renowned regional accreditation bodies for the

promotion and accreditation of traditional, non-traditional and vocational

education in their respective regions. IAO's international accreditation

supplements the regional accreditation with its expertise of Points Profile

System, supported by latest technology to establish, preserve and promote the
