Mission Statement
Our primary mission is to accredit institutions based on several criteria of evaluation such as performance, educational standards and policies.
AAC promotes international recognition of the skills and qualifications of all its member institutions and their graduates, who may have diverse backgrounds: governments, industry, employers, and educational institutions.
AAC promotes the ideals of life-long and independent learning paired with network growth of knowledge in national, regional, and global contexts.
AAC will try to utilize all reasonable efforts to ensure that its accredited institutions will implement reasonable quality teaching practices and responsible research with the application of good quality educational materials, good quality faculty and staff, and good quality working conditions that facilitates productive learning, research, and innovation.
AAC will make sure by regular audits that its accredited institutions adopt a responsible approach in providing individuals with accurate guidance and information which are reliable and easily accessible.
AAC will continuously update, revise, develop, and implement assessment criteria and procedures for its accredited institutions in order to improve the programs and qualifications in the Secondary and Tertiary fields of study.
AAC will disseminate criteria and standards to ensure that the educational programs of its accredited members meet the quality for international situations, taking into account cultural and linguistic differences and needs.
AAC is an International Educational Accrediting Association, not an Educational Provider.
AAC is a Non-Profit Institution organized for the sole purpose of providing international recognition to educational institutions.
AAC accredits Institutions which are expected to maintain high standards of excellence.
AAC accredits institutions offering Secondary and Tertiary educational programs. Institutions offering degrees and diplomas through residential, online, and independent study are eligible to apply for AAC Accreditation.
AAC accreditation is based on a review of an institution's curriculum, faculty, staff, policies, and facilities.
AAC accreditation is intended for the following purposes:
To assist students selecting and independently verifying Secondary and Tertiary institutions whether they offer quality degree and/or diploma programs.
To assist governments assessing and evaluating credentials of various individuals who gained their degrees and diplomas from other countries.
To assist employers who would like to know and ensure that the candidates applying for employment has indeed received good quality education and is really prepared for the real challenges in the primary, secondary, and tertiary sectors of the economy
AAC does not accept responsibility for any losses incurred by a student, organization, institution, agency, government or any other entity because of an institution's policies, failure to perform, discontinuance to provide services, dishonest and/or criminal actions, or for any other actions or liabilities.
Although the goal and mission of AAC is to apply the concept of International Education and to develop transnational recognition, AAC realizes that many countries, governments, states and provinces often utilize different regulations regarding degree granting authority within their borders. A legal and valid degree in one country may or may not be accepted as legal and valid within another. While EAA makes every effort to coordinate transnational recognition, accreditation by AAC may or may not be accepted by different countries or governments.
AAC welcomes recognition by the Ministries and/or Departments of Education from other countries.
