ACCREDITATION
Today, Education is a true “knowledge industry” in which its providers (Universities and Professional organisations), potential users (Students and other Professionals) and other third parties are all technologically sophisticated and very heavy users of the internet.
WECA was set -up as a non-profit quality supervision portal, so that the potential of the Internet to distribute educational products, services, and information efficiently around the globe is not abused.
WEAC also undertakes the accreditation of higher education providers either by itself or via the rankings published by educational establishments, newspapers and professional journals.
To be listed as an accredited institution by WEAC, a higher education entity must be listed in at least one of the following recognised international accrediting agencies, and undergo a rigorous evaluation by its own team of experts.
