Evidence-based recognition for credible learning institutions and programs

CISCM accreditation evaluates whether a defined institution or program meets published professional-learning and quality requirements. Recognition is time-limited, scope-specific, monitored and capable of public verification.

What Accreditation Means

Accreditation is a CISCM decision that reviewed requirements are met for the exact legal entity, site, program, mode, language, territory and validity stated in the approval record.

What Accreditation Does Not Mean

CISCM accreditation must not be described as governmental approval, university accreditation, academic degree authority, statutory licensure, immigration eligibility, guaranteed credit transfer or regulator recognition unless an independent competent authority has expressly confirmed that status.
