UK Accreditation
A UK Government approved accreditation service
UK Accreditation Overview
We welcome applications from all types of UK education providers wishing to increase their international student recruitment using the UKVI standard visitor visa and the short-term study visa routes. The assessment leading to the award of accreditation covers the whole range of facilities, activities and resources of your operation, placing the central focus on the student experience and the expertise of the staff responsible for delivering this.
Our inspectors have a wealth of experience working in the UK higher education and further education sectors. This expertise, along with our unique insight into the international education market, is embedded within our Standards. The objective of the accreditation process is to recognise and underpin your institution’s commitment to providing a high-quality learning experience in a safe and supportive environment.

The importance of accreditation
ASIC is independent and impartial. ASIC Accreditation covers the entire spectrum of your operation and is suitable for a diverse range of institutions including English language schools, further education settings, niche training providers, and distance or blended learning solutions.
ASIC Accreditation exists to ensure that international students studying across the UK are undertaking their studies in a safe and welcoming environment. We evaluate the systems and management structures in place that assure students and their parents/caregivers and sponsors that the educational experience on offer is of the highest standards, ultimately leading to valuable UK qualifications. Our purpose is to help every institution we work with to put quality at the heart of what they do. Following your award, we then work with you throughout the accreditation period to assist with the continuing quality enhancement of your provision.
