Why Choose Affiliate Accreditation?
IACC Affiliate Accreditation is designed for institutions that are already accredited by another recognized body—whether local, regional, or international. While many agencies provide accreditation, some fail to deliver on their promises of support, visibility, and global recognition.
At IACC, we take accreditation a step further, offering institutions access to a wide range of networking, capacity-building, marketing, and quality assurance opportunities. Affiliate Accreditation allows your institution to retain its current accreditation while also benefiting from the global network and support system of IACC.
