Programme identity
The programme name, focus and the title or other outcome declared by the institution. Information should match the programme’s public presentation.
A / PROGRAMME ACCREDITATION
Give your programme substance.
Show how content, workload and completion requirements fit together. ACMAEOS accreditation focuses on the documented design of an individual programme.
Discuss your options
A good programme needs a clear framework.
A programme title alone cannot tell a learner what to expect. Learners need to understand the subjects, teaching hours, available materials, assessment methods and how the components connect. For the institution, sound documentation also helps align expectations across tutors, management and learners.
ACMAEOS accreditation provides a framework for reviewing this evidence. Published requirements also address the declared EQF level, the qualification awarded and study duration expressed in semesters. The final scope of review is defined by the relevant decision.
APPLICATION EVIDENCE
From a title to content. From content to outcomes.
Subjects and syllabuses
A list of subjects and their syllabuses. Published requirements address study hours, textbooks, academic responsibility and learning materials for each subject.
Duration and workload
The total number of semesters and credits. These details place programme content in a clear time frame and describe the study workload.
Declared educational level
The stated EQF level and the title awarded, as required by ACMAEOS. Any relationship to national qualifications should be examined in the context of the particular programme and its authorisation.
FROM INTENT TO EVIDENCE
A clear pathway to trust.
A well-prepared application starts with clear evidence.

Prepare your evidence
Gather institutional documents, syllabuses, study workload and assessment methods. The exact evidence depends on your application.
Complete the review
Evidence is assessed under ACMAEOS rules. The decision involves the expert committee and a vote by existing members.
Make the outcome visible
After approval, communicate the exact scope of membership, accreditation or certification and keep your information up to date.
Approval is not automatic. The outcome depends on the submitted evidence and ACMAEOS rules.
Explore the standardsCommunicate exactly what was reviewed.
When communicating accreditation, state the provider, the programme covered, its scope and validity as set out in the decision. Prospective learners should easily distinguish institutional membership, programme review and individual course certification.
An ACMAEOS designation should not be used to promise automatic recognition of a diploma, admission to another institution or professional authorisation. These questions require verification for the particular situation.
