A structured process, applied to eligible institutions
HIAC provides an institutional accreditation and external evaluation framework for eligible educational institutions, academic providers, training organisations, and professional education entities.
HIAC's purpose is to establish a structured process through which an institution's governance, academic provision, quality systems, resources, learner support, and continuous improvement mechanisms may be evaluated against defined standards.
To promote institutional quality, accountability, and continuous improvement through structured external evaluation and accreditation processes.
To develop a credible and transparent institutional accreditation framework that encourages educational providers to maintain robust academic governance, quality management, and continuous improvement.
A framework institutions can work with
HIAC aims to provide a structured framework through which educational providers can strengthen governance, quality management, and learner outcomes.
Ten commitments behind every evaluation
Independent Evaluation. Meaningful Improvement. Institutional Confidence.
HIAC believes that accreditation should not simply represent a status. Accreditation should encourage institutions to establish sustainable systems that support academic quality, institutional effectiveness, and learner success.
