International Recognition Across
Education Sectors
 

The International Education Board (IEB) accredits institutions, programs, and training providers across diverse education sectors under a unified, independent quality assurance framework.

​

IEB accreditation is voluntary, non-governmental, and internationally oriented, designed to recognize institutions that demonstrate educational integrity, structured delivery, ethical practices, and continuous improvement.

​

Rather than operating in isolated sectors, IEB applies common accreditation principles, with sector-specific standards where required, ensuring consistency, credibility, and global relevance.

"Accrediting Excellence. Advancing Global Education.”
