International Accreditation Association

---

Accreditation of a course, program, or organization is a process to ensure the curriculum is sound, relevant, differentiated, and delivered appropriately. At IAA we also make sure courses are under continuous evaluation and improvement. Certification is a process to verify that someone has the knowledge, experience, and credentials to practice in their discipline. At IAA we also make sure they understand the importance of ethical and professional behavior.  

We are committed to helping individuals and organizations be the best they can be and help others do the same. Our accreditation and certification evaluators are experts in their fields, including having doctorates where necessary. They are professors, authors, presenters, and consummate professionals. 

You will find that accreditation and certification are valued by most people. Clients want to know a third party has evaluated you, your course, or your organization and found high standards. If you are trying to meet a particular qualification in your organization, jurisdiction, or country, you need to reach out directly to them to see if our criteria and standards meet their expectations. 

Our processes are transparent, robust and meaningful. Certification is easily attainable by those who know their subject matter and operate with professionalism. If you fall short in missing our standards, you have the opportunity to improve and return to try again with only a minimal review fee. Visit our Certification Steps page for specifics.

To be certified or have your course accredited, you need to fill out a short application (built as a course to help inform and guide you along the way) and pass quizzes within the application. The application and quizzes are not timed, so how long the process takes is up to you and your preparedness. 

We sure do. Drop us a line and we'll get right back to you.

You can use IAA and International Accreditation Association interchangeably. You can add the tagline "An American-based International accrediting and certifying body." When your course or organization becomes accredited, we provide you with both a certificate and a badge!

We are built on trust and attestation, similar to how many states approve organizations and how many professions certify their professionals and continuing education. 

IAA does not certify or accredit schools or colleges that take Title IV funds from the U.S. government, so we do not fall under the jurisdiction of the respecitve agencies. But even so, we meet high standards of operations, and our certification and accreditation standards are robust.
