Begin with the right questions

Approval in one country should not be treated as authorization in another. Research degree authority, recruitment, delivery and recognition separately.

Each engagement is scoped to your institution. Deliverables, responsibilities, specialist involvement and fees are agreed before work begins.

Questions before you begin

Does an overseas accreditation automatically apply in the US?

No. Its relevance and scope must be evaluated independently from US operating authorization and any US accreditation pathway.

What should I prepare for an initial consultation?

Bring a short overview of your institution, current operating and licensing status, program plans, intended market and the decisions you need help making. Avoid including confidential student or financial records in an initial inquiry.

What happens after the initial discussion?

A proposed engagement should define the workstreams, deliverables, responsibilities, specialist involvement and commercial terms. No regulator or accreditor decision is represented as assured.
