IAO's Accreditation Process

The steps to our accreditation process are described below. If you are a representative of a school and interested in learning more about IAO's accreditation please read the following accreditation steps.

IAO's accreditation process consists of the following steps:

Step1 Orientation

Online presentation or briefing on phone (briefing on core requirements and on complete procedure).

Step2 Application Forms & Affidavit

Initially, you will need to provide your school's details through the eligibility application form which will help us get an overview of your school, its basic structure, functions, and other key factors. In the second step of the process, the applicant school is then required to fill in and submit a detailed application form that covers the organizational and academic management of the school. Here, we will require information on your mission, school, the curriculum/ syllabus you offer, information about your faculty, etc. After a meticulous assessment against the standards and performance metrics required for granting accreditation to a school, you submit an affidavit on your school's letterhead duly signed by a notary public, stating all information submitted on your online application form is correct.

Step3 Candidacy Status

On the basis of all the submitted documentary evidence through the detailed form and letter, the school is evaluated for candidacy based on IAO's unique patented profiling system. The IAO will award school with an accreditation Candidacy and provide the unique points profile.

Step4 Full Accreditation

The last step to achieve full accreditation is the visit of IAO's representative to the applicant school's campus on a mutually agreed date. The IAO will evaluate educational system for full accreditation through physical location and/or online education provision system, through student involvement and through the IAO's proprietary variable.

Full accreditation will be awarded and the final points profile© will be granted to the applicant school based on IAO's evaluator(s') visit and assessment.
