Accreditation UK monitors and improves standards of management, teaching, resources and welfare in organisations teaching English as a foreign language in Britain.
We do this through regular inspections including unannounced spot checks. Each inspection leads to a report on the organisation's services and facilities. On the basis of this report, we make a decision as to whether the organisation should be accredited.
We make sure organisations provide quality provision, especially:
 |
 |
|
Appropriately qualified teachers |
|
|
|
Teaching which meets the Scheme standards |
|
|
|
Accommodation, including homestays, which is regularly inspected and meets Scheme standards |
|
|
|
24- hour supervision of juniors |
|
|
|
Safe premises, with properly-equipped classrooms and areas for relaxation |
|
|
|
Brochures and publicity materials which accurately reflect what is provided |
|
|
|
Proper emergency procedures, known to staff and students. |
See section 2.2 of the Accreditation UK Handbook 2012-13 for what we check during the inspection process.
