Why is accreditation so important?

The first task of any learner when he/she enrols for any course with a college, university or any institute is to check if it is accredited by a globally recognised accreditation body as it is considered to be the foremost step to becoming a certified teaching professional. Accreditation is self-initiated by an organisation and helps in evaluating the services provided by them and provides the scope for continuous quality enhancement. In other words, it helps the organisation in maintaining a high level of service quality. It also ensures the interests of the learners, the prospective employers and the organisation's reputations are safe guarded in the best possible manner. Accreditation is often given after thorough and intensive review and evaluation of their education process and practices and provides reliability especially to non-traditional form of instructions such as online and distance learning.
