The College Accreditation Handbook provides details on:
- the procedure for accreditation
- necessary conditions
- guidance for tutors
- and all information relating to the delivery of ABE programmes and examination arrangements.
On 18th June 2004, the Department for Education Skills (DfES) announced the creation of a new Register of Education Providers for the private college sector.
The Register will be made available to the Home Office to support their decision-making with regard to student visa applications.
For colleges applying for accreditation, being on the Register will be a necessary condition of applications being accepted. (Existing accredited colleges who are not on the Register will have their accreditation reviewed.)
Applications for re-accreditation cannot be accepted until such registration has been achieved.
