In a world where credibility and quality are non-negotiable, Institutional Accreditation serves as a cornerstone for public confidence, stakeholder assurance, and international recognition. At the European Board of Accreditation (EBA), we view institutional accreditation not just as a status—but as a strategic partnership built on transparency, excellence, and continuous growth. What is Institutional Accreditation? Institutional Accreditation is a comprehensive evaluation of an entire organization—be it a university, hospital, training center, or corporate institution. Unlike program-specific evaluations, this process examines the institution’s vision, mission, governance, operations, and outcomes as a whole. Through a structured and transparent approach, the EBA evaluates whether the institution: • Operates according to clear strategic goals • Meets internationally accepted quality standards • Demonstrates good governance and ethical practices • Provides high-quality services across all departments • Maintains robust internal quality assurance systems • Engages in continuous self-assessment and improvement EBA’s Institutional Accreditation Approach The European Board of Accreditation’s methodology is built around depth, dialogue, and development. Our process includes: 1. Preliminary Review – Understanding the institution’s context, scope, and goals. 2. Self-Study Report – Institution-led reflection on strengths, challenges, and improvement plans. 3. Site Visit & Peer Review – In-depth evaluation by EBA experts across domains. 4. Final Decision & Feedback – Transparent decision-making with tailored recommendations. 5. Post-Accreditation Support – Guidance to help implement changes and prepare for re-accreditation. Throughout the process, we maintain open communication, respect local context, and encourage ownership of quality by the institution itself.
