Any education provider wishing to provide degree level or professional course accreditations must obtain an education licence for the certifications to be validated and stamped.

 

 

 

 

 

What is an Education Licence?

An education licence is a government issued authorisation to an education provider that they may issue degree level and equivalent accreditations and certificates to their students following the completion of relevant coursework and examinations. Many international employers and further education providers will only accept a certification as authentic if it has been accredited by an authorised education provider.

 

 

Solution Structure

The education licence authorises the company to issue accreditations in most fields of study subject to the quality and relevancy of the teaching materials, course content, examinations and award process.

The areas of study that may be accredited under the education licence include

• Business and Marketing
• Information Technology
• Software Development
• Media Studies
• Digital Media

As part of the licence application the company will be issued with

• Company Incorporation of Limited by Guarantee company with Education related Name
• Registered Address
• Bank Account Opening
• Hosting
• Education Licence
• Ongoing Monitoring in 1st year

To apply for the licence, the company must provide all course materials and examinations with ma

rking structure to the licencing board for review. The website and student portals will also be assessed for suitability.

Upon review, an assessment will be made as to whether the courses provided and examinations sufficiently deliver the requirements for the course accreditation. If it is not yet considered sufficient, a report will be issued to the company for guidelines on improvements. A resubmission of the course data is allowed within 6 months of the report date, otherwise a new application will be required.
If the course materials, exams and marking structures are deemed acceptable, the company will be given the Education Licence and the company may then issue government stamped certificates to its students.

The education provider will be monitored by the licencing body for up to 1 year to ensure course delivery remains at a high level.
